Found a Kiron 24mm f2.0 cheaply and since I don’t have anything wider than 28mm for my Pentax system I thought it would be a nice lens to try out.
I have read that it is very soft wide open, and that it has some issues with the coating coming off, and I can agree to both of those statements. The lens that I have seems to have permanent polish marks or something on the front lens, and there is either a lot of dust or something else in one of the middle elements.
Here are a couple of wide open shots:
A dreamlike quality, very soft indeed but pretty cool in a way.
Here are a couple of stopped down shots:
Not bad sharpness actually, it’s not crazy sharp like my K28/3.5 but good enough.
Just a short post this time, so that’s it!
