My Mir 47 arrived today (m42 20mm/f2.5), so here are 3 test shots to show you, all taken at f8 on Samsung Gx-10 in aperture priority with m42 adapter, I like it judge for yourselves.



Thanks for looking
Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Lovely colour rendition, although it doesn't look bitingly sharp.

Nice pics, brillants colors. May be not so sharp. Did you use F/11 or 16

too?. This F/ could be sharper. Let us see more pics, please.

I am quite interested in this lens. Could you please check the barrel distortion at the edge. Thank you in advance.

Okay gentlemen, finally got a tiny bit of sun so here are 3 more test shots with Mir 47, all in manual mode at f16 and going from full size image to 100% crop

and next

and at 100%

Also an earlier one from same distance approx 0.3m/ 1 foot at f16

As for distortion no pics but from what I have seen, and bearing in mind the camera is 1.5 crop, there appears to be virtually none. Its maybe not as sharp as my Zenitar but ample for my needs and as with most Russian lenses the colour rendition is wonderful. Thanks for looking Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

For me, the color looks very "russian". I like it.
I really wish there will be a comparason between Mir 47 and Mir 20M, as well as the Mir 73N (arsat).

Difficult to know it was a toss up for me too between Mir 20 and 47, I went for the 47 because it is a stop faster and its growing on me as I get the chance to use it. The only downside is that its a BIG Shocked lens it towers over a Zenitar and has a front like a radio telescope

Shocked Here it is on my samsung which is not a small camera Very Happy , maybe the Mir 20 is a better solution if you want an undamaged spine Very Happy
