This is with the D. Compared to the Zenitar 16/2.8 and the Sigma 24/2.8 it seems to lack sharpness and the bokeh is very 'rough'.
Okay. I have not limbered up the FA 24mm I recently got, so I can't make a comparison in that range.
The depth of field is such that I rarely notice bokeh, but I think I'll go back thru my prints, see what I can tell about that.
It may simply be that I haven't used it wide open enough to bring that aspect of it's performance into play.
I haven't tried it on film yet.
And I only use it with film, as I don't yet have a digital camera that will accept it, so there you are! :-)
There was a thread not long ago about the filter size on this lens, it appears there are at least 2 versions of it. Mine is the KA version with 62mm filter threads. Serial number 91103029.

That's the version I use. S/N 97114018. Other than the lens cap, I use no add-ons including filters with this lens.
Anyhow, now that I know what your complaints are, I'll keep them in mind, to see what I find.
Up to now, it's performed very well for me, for what I've asked of it!
The use of film, with max print sizes of 5X7" don't exactly require the ne plus ultra in wide angle lenses!
