DennisPT Posted June 6, 2023 Share #1 Posted June 6, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just received this little gem and for the price I paid, I will say the construction exceeds my expectation. The only thing that I want to bring up is the recess on the lens mount is a bit shallow, without putting much pressure on the lens release button of the camera, the lens can come loose. Will go and out and shoot some photos with it later. Welcome, dear visitor!

DennisPT Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share #9 Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) All photos were taken with M9P, only exposure was adjusted. Apart from expected vignetting, there is quite a bit of corner smearing, even at f/5.6. This lens is not for landscape but to me, it’s a great little lens for street snaps. Will be great to hear your thoughts. Edited June 6, 2023 by DennisPT Typo 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisPT Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share #10 Posted June 6, 2023 Mounted this lens on a different M and when I pressed the lens release button, the lens was unlocked. So it is more like a quick release feature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huss Posted June 6, 2023 Share #14 Posted June 6, 2023 smearing at 5.6? I wonder if this is one of those lenses which would work much better on a film camera. Like the early CV 25 and 21 f4 lenses. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huss Posted June 7, 2023 Share #19 Posted June 7, 2023 please post more pics. Still not available on their AMZ site, even though they said May 30. Can I ask how much it cost? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisPT Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share #20 Posted June 8, 2023 I used an early bird discount and with a low shipping cost to my residence, I paid about US$280. Of course overseas purchases may vary. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
