It's better than the bottom of a coke bottle. Well that's harsh. It's an alright lens. Pretty good opticsI've bought a Cosina CS-3 with winder and two lenses recently (cheap! |-). One of them is Cosinon 50mm 1.4, the other one M42 Rikenon 55 1.4 - which I decided to give to somebody due to M42 and little scratch on the front element.
Rikenon seems to have much better mechanics and little wider glass diameter (does it matter BTW?). Cosinon is newer, shorter but the distance ring has little uneven movement, turns in opposite side than most of K-mout lenses and rotates only about 100 degrees... :-/
I've found almost nothing on google - can somebody tell if it's good/bad/xxx lens? I'm still waiting to buy a film scanner and have no access to the darkroom - so I won't be able to tell what bokeh can I expect or how is the sharpness full-open...
Thanks in advance
mechanics below Pentax average.
