    Strength:

    Sharp, good all-around lens.

    Weakness:

    Build a little on the cheap side, but hasn't given me any trouble. Focus ring not as smooth as I would like but very useable.

    This lens is a great value for the money. While inexpensively built, it is impressively sharp and has decent resistance to flare. (I typically shoot with Leica and Canon L lenses, so I know what sharp lenses are supposed to look like.) I haven't had the famous light-leak-around-the-preview-lever problem.

    Strength:

    Sharp and Cheap, Soild Build, Also Muti-Coated.

    Weakness:

    Light Leak when focusing range less than 0.8m... No big deal, a tape can fix it!

    This lense comes with the Kiev 88cm Kit that I ordered from Kievcamera. After a few month of use, I found this lense is a good performer. With only a little bit of flaw.

    Strength:

    * Price ($30) Where can one get a lens this cheap * Sharp

    Weakness:

    Only availble for Kiev 60/P6 or Kiev 88.

    Sharp prim lens. It gets the job done. I am using that in a 2002 Kiev 60. My lens was also made in the same year. So far I can't complain. It seem to work fine with my color print and B&W print film. I'll put some slides in it to further see how the color behave on this lens. There are plenty of wirteup on this product. check out http://www.kievaholic.com/
