ok Smile surely great deal Smile

try doing test shooting in raw format and applying default settings in Lightroom or ACR (sharpening 25), with over sharpening you just intensify the artifacts...

An interesting lens.
One of Tamrons very early products.
Its notable also because it has an unusual but yet familiar interchangeable mount.
I call it the "mini T", because its just like the familiar T/T2 mount, in concept and design, except for different dimensions and back focus.
There were three mounts available in "mini-T" - M42, Exakta and Miranda M44.
The only other lens that used that mount was the Tamon Duo or Converto 135/4.5 lens with matched multiplier.

This was mine -

Notice mine doesn't have the 'T' serial number like yours, does yours have the 12 aperture blades also.

I quite like the `over-sharpened' versions. The make the latter seem a bit soft. Perhaps somewhere in the middle?

That's what I like! Finding relatively unknown lenses for a good price and just go experiment with them! And the results are quite nice too!
