A very, very good ultra wide angle lens for the 1960s era. Works very well on modern digital cameras. I shot with it on a Sony A7 III (24 megapixels) and got a very good result – minimal distortion, you can reproduce drawings!
A very interesting lens from the late 1970s. Complex design with a floating element for better focusing at close distances. Excellent sharpness in the center of the frame at any aperture. Best apertures are 5,6 and 8. Good backlight resistance. Lightweight and compact. Extremely rare. In total, about 600 lenses were made.
Kenko has some compatible TCs for this (with the screw AF system)

You are right, Andrew. I have updated the specs. Thank you!
Evgenii, a minor spec correction: this lens appears to have 9 aperture blades rather than 8. I know one of the few reviews online says 8, but after close inspection, my copy has 9 blades (they’re so tiny it’s hard to tell without zooming in on an iPhone photo). I’ve got the later version with the (C) for coated, and the dual aperture scales, one on each side of the lens. Cheers!
