Lovely series, and lovely lens.
Since I got mine it is stuck on my camera as my standard normal (sadly no FF here).

Really impressive. Wish that Takumar in your signature was a 35mm f3.5 (instead of the 28mm), so we could see comparison shots. I can tell that the MIR will win but am curious about the margin of victory. |

It does, at least against my older (bigger) version super takumar 35/2.
The tak is a lens I love, but my mir 24 is better under almost every aspect (sharpness wide open, color richness, contrast, flare resistance) - except build quality and handling, but we all know old taks are unbeatable at that. I also prefer the mir versus the takumar 3.5/35.

Please can you resize and repost your picture of the puppy - 1024 max width please in this forum, or alternatively you can post it in the Oversize Gallery.
Is this the M42 or the Nikon version of the Mir24? I have the M42 version and I wouldn't exactly say it is compact!

I have tried Mir24 and I wouldn't give it the medal for sharpness. In fact that's one of it weaknesses. Even at F8.0 corners was not that sharp like they must for a fixed focal lens. My CZJ Flektogon beats it in sharpness, contrast and colors on every aperture, but the Mir24 has more pleasing smooth bokeh especially at and after F2.8.

Done. Sorry, didn't remember that! This is the M42 version, well its bigger than Takumars etc but I used to have Samyang 35mm that was huge.
I will take more testshots today.

Ok, just took a few test shots! Straight from RAW to JPEG, no sharpness added in PP.
Bokeh test F2.0:
Sharpness tests, F2.8.
cropped
F4.0
cropped
Wall test. Pretty sharp even in corners I think. Extreme corners are soft. F2.0, full frame.

The Tak f2 might be faster but reviews seem to indicate that its sharpness is suspect (compared to the f3.5). That's why I desired to see a comparison of the Mir with the 35mm f3.5 Tak. Under good lighting of course
The first set of your Mir pics was pretty spectacular. The newer crop isn't jumping out at me -- I could be imagining things but the lens appears to be much sharper when focusing on close to mid-range subjects. |

I think you're right, its better when focusing close to subject. But time will show the true nature of this lens...

that lens is a much much cheaper version of the leica summicron 35/2 "king of bokeh" in terms of cost but not performance
my copy flares quite a bit but that's pretty much the only complaint i have
on a nikon d90, adapter with infinity glass. straight out of the camera, ZERO post processing ->
