That was quick-the seller shipped Monday. It was dark when I got home, so I shot a few in the house with the D300 and Nikon-P6 tilt adapter. I'm impressed with the lens-good image quality. The lens was as as described-just about perfect. It almost looks new.

Tilting allowed me to get the cd recorder in focus when shooting at an angle-f/11.



Nice color saturation, but f/4 is still too much DOF sometimes.



It focuses down to .5 meters. On a crop camera, it can do light duty macro. Here's one of my Russian watches. Lens was tilted a bit to get the whole dial in focus at f/5.6.

One of the best medium format wide angle lens, even 10X more price you can't find better. Try it with film Wink

Hi Attila. Yes the plan is to shoot a roll of film with it mounted to my Pentax 645 this weekend.

I got home before dark and shot some in the flowerbed and courtyard today. I'm liking the lens more and more.

I did the watch again with a 14mm extension tube. With tilt, I can now shoot close ups of my watches and get the whole dial in focus.
