I’m happy to see nice examples taken with this lens as I just purchased one right here on RFF. Can wait to use it!
Please keep examples coming while I’m waiting

Have tried this lens for a coupe of weeks and couple of rolls now and I'm quite happy with it. I'm stocked to see those color shots above as they're really good and I have an Ektar 100 sitting in my camera shot with the same lens. Well done, well done, I hope mine turn out anything as good as those

So far I've tried it with expired rolls and like how it vignetted heavily on old Neopans. I'd like to share some results:








(This one's expired xproed Centuria)
