OK, what's not to like about this lens? It's absolutely beautiful, maybe the best looking lens I own. In very shiny metal, with a good feel and weight to it. Looks very similar to some early east-German and Russian lenses, but of much better craft and quality. Would love to see the camera that normally goes with it. It is very different from other lenses in this series, although they are pretty mucg stunning also with their look.
The focus is very smooth, and as all UV Topcor lenses, the aperture ring is actually in the camera (or the adapter in this case) but also works smooth. Did I already state that this lens is gorgeous?
Image quality is fairly decent, and better then the average of the UV Topcor lenses. The lens provided some really decent colors, good sharpness, but some color aberration that gave the lens it's own "style". With 5 blades, the bokeh does look a little "busy" in some shots.
From all UV Topcor lenses tested up to date, this one is my favorite, and without any discussion the best looker of them all.
