I've got two of those, one in Canon FD and the other
in Nikon mount. It's a good reason to keep manual
focus cameras around, that lens is sharp enough to
shave with! The color and contrast are amazing too...
it is too sharp for portraits. And they are cheap! :-)

today's mounts.<<
They made some utterly amazing optics at a low price.
If the 24mm f2 and the 28m f2 were stamped "Nikkor",
nobody would know the difference and would pay four
times what they go for.
Well worth looking for at the swap meets.
