Its optical qualities are probably no better than today's cheap consumer zooms (which means "not very good") but I'll bet its mechanical construction is. Stop it down to f8-11 and it'll probably be OK. I bought a Cosina 20mm f4.0 on eBay for $20.00 and found it to be surprisingly sharp once stopped down. Now I keep it in my "mini" kit with the MX, M28/3.5 and FA43/1.9 Ltd. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com Photography and writing
