Hi Boris,
I've had that lens for several years, than gave it as a present
to a friend of mine. Despite its not negligible distorsion, I
used it a lot as my main interiors and architecture lens (that's
when I had just that lens this wide...). Mine was in Nikon af
mount (I paid almost nothing for it back then, it was almost a
bonus with another purchase) and at first I was thinking of
using it as a reportage lens.
Used wide open it leaves a lot to be desired, but stopped down
enough it is quite sharp. The colour rendition is very good,
neutral. The real problem is that it flares like hell under
different circumstances (and the hood doesn't help much). The
build quality is really good. I decided to part with it when I
eventually found (almost at the same time) a KA 15/3.5 and a
shift 28mm.
Ciao,
Gianfranco
