I picked this one up a while ago with a J-7. It's a gorgeous looking thing! Unfortunately it has some fungus Sad

4 - Boring flower shot @ f4 - notice the contrast improvement, but also the wacky bokeh

5 - Crop @ f2.8 (I think)

Such a pretty lens! Reasonable results. Does anyone know if this is a Tokina made lens? Serial starts with an S...

What a nice sample you found. Mine is black and used much more, but glass is good too. Infinity at F2.8 seem great.

Nice images..
I had the 200/4 version which looks exactly same with your lens Graham. Most beautiful 200mm I think., I think contrast should be incresed in PP

I have this very lens - on a K100D aps-c sensor, there's what I believe is a reflection off the sensor which reduces contrast in the center. But on film there are no issues, the lens is light in weight and works well.

I see you're asking for producer. It's as Tomioka as can be i think.
