This little lens is a true beauty! Since i only shoot APS-C with digitals, i had never seen the wide angle of this one on FF, so time for an experiment. It's PK mount, so i took the Pentax ME Super.
I really like the IQ, even though the corners a distorted.

One and four are my favorites. For number one, is the horizon off-level, or is does it look like that to me because of the building on the left's distortion?

It's a great lens -- I have the Tokina-built Vivitar version. I'm impressed by the contrast you're getting with that Fomapan 100.

David - horizon could be off a fraction.... but indeed, these wide angles fool the eye as well!

Cooltouch - i like Foma, i decided to buy a pack of it after some positive sounds on this forum, and on flickr as well. And it works well for me, all B/W pictures in this set are Fomapan 100 : http://www.flickr.com/photos/chantalrene/sets/72157632129818716/

Very good results, but a little bit grainy for a Fomapan 100.
Which developer did you use?

Looking for a MD or PK-Mount version, too.

Looks Rodinal due grain , I am curious I did figure out or not.

Nope, it's D76. I realized too late i took the wrong ME-Super. I have 2, one is okay, the other has a defective lightmeter, and is aprox. 2 stops off. So i had to pull the film, i did develop for 5:30 minutes only.
Other rolls i developed longer show far less grain.

Nothing wrong with a bit of grain!

I like no.1. I think it might be leaning a little to the right but that's easy to correct.

I've never shot a lens this wide before. I think I need to look out for that Tokina in f mount!
