Retina IIIs Curtagon

Is this a good lens to use wide-open?

I'm looking for a decent not-so-expensive 35mm focal length lens (or FL RF) to use wide-open or at near wide-open. I was thinking of getting a IIIs+Curtagon but have also considered or a Konica Hexar AF.

I'm hesitant with the Hexar because I feel that they're getting a little old and I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy an auto-everything camera.

The IIIS and all of the lens for it are excellent quality lens. The 35mm will work fine for what you need..

I couldn´t tell you much about the IIIs but what I see in my pics with the 2,8 35mm it has a bit of vignette wide open.
