Tales From the Junk Drawer
For an upcoming episode John provided the gang with some fourth-party M42 lenses to test out to see how well they actually worked. I'm rather impressed at how well the lens I ended up with, the Sun Auto 85-210mm f/4.8 turned out. I'm sure it would do better in a camera that could actually stop it down and I ended up shooting this wide open the whole time because Zenit E. Over all there's little to no fall off on the corners, a bit of flare if I wasn't careful. But lovely sharp lens.
