I am rather partial to this little lens they call a Macro 1:5, I call it a close focus lens. Today I was shooting this flower with the lens wide open
When a bee landed on a more distant flower. The camera was on a ball head on a tripod which allowed me to quickly swing the camera to the other flower. Since the image was rather small I have cropped the shot down.
I was surprised @ the detail in the cropped version & I decided to crop even more to see the result.
I got this lens new last December for 40C$ from a photo shop going out of business .
Here is another pic taken a couple weeks ago with this lens on a Vivitar 2x tele-converter.

This lens had a great reputation when it was sold.
I just read a report in an old German magazine the other day in which is was praised as an excellent and affordable alternative to OEM lenses!

Looking good..I have plenty of the Vivitar 28mms, but the 24mm seems more scarce.

This one is made by Cosina.
Thanks for your comments folks.

I've got a copy of the Cosina built version too....I guess I need to thin the "herd" as I have 5 different 24mm lenses...The Cosina & Tokina F2.8 Vivitar versions, the Komine made Vivitar F2 version & an Ai & Ais versions of the Nikkor F2.8....All of them give me good results & all are slightly different, decisions, decisions....

I too have the Tokina version of the 24mm and find it very sharp. I've done a mount conversion, but am off some on the registration distance, so need to correct that to reach infinity.

I've just got mine today (Tokina version) and the first thing I noticed was how sharp it is. Even at 100% crop. I think I am going to love this lens !
These are taken out of my office window, only PP Curves.
#1 : Original
#2 : 100% crop
#3 : Original (no flash)

The Cosina version looks good for close ups. I had the Vivitar TX version (Tokina) and although good in the centre, it was poor in the corners which is why I sold it in the end...I wanted it for landscapes.
