Testing MC Kaleinar 100mm f2.8 5N old lens.
Can't remember the last time I got surprised by an old lens sharpness. This Russian made lens is amazingly sharp and has a nice creamy bokeh!
Even stopped down Orestor 135mm can't match the details/sharpness of this lens wide open. Not much flare resistant, lacks contrast and there is CA, but all forgettable considering it's sharpness quality. Totally worth the purchase.
Oh it comes with a replaceable M42 mount to Nikon F mount. But, due to the protruding aperture control metal lever, it doesn't fit M42->E mount adapter. So changed it to Nikon F mount and used Nikon->E mount adapter.
