It looks soft and not really much going for it to my eyes. I know the lighting wasn't it's best.

It might be a matter of which copy you have. Orio once has shown images taken with the Orion on his M9 and those were really good.

The Orion-15 is a fantastic lens for the money. Some have haze or fungus (one of mine had) and also the production year plays a role.

Light is matter, let we see it in bright light.

Laughing That depends what kind of money you are talking about, of course. However, I struggle to imagine a price that can make a 28mm f6 lens a value proposition Wink

It depends on what kind of photography you make.
If you do like I often do, going through the streets with the camera set to hyperfocal and the lens to f/8,
the focal lenght, sharpness and compact size of the Orion lens make a lot of sense:

01 whole image


100% crop of 01

Ohh, I am not saying that the lens is useless/makes no sense, just that "good value" is the last thing that springs to my mind when I think of it.

Orio's shots show what this lens can do.

I was put off by the F6 aperture, but as I would be using this lens mainly with smaller apertures and on a Zorki/FED it made no real difference.

Let me add some different examples of using this lens - some landsacpe, flower and closeup work.
The full set is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kds315/sets/72157628104462326/











For me this is an excellent lens, very small and lightweight and nearly free of any distortions thanks to the TOPOGON design.

second is especially good Klaus, stunning! I think Orio did point out right main benefit of this lens. Is anybody have it with Contax RF mount ?

Wow! Excellent little lens!
Remarkable is especially the low distortion and center performance.

Waiting for results in better light, Attila! This lens deserves it Wink
