Beautiful images as Dave said.

I have that lens as a Sinar branded version; Sinaron Digital. It was mounted in Sinar DB. I remounted it to Copal 0. Today it's my workhorse in landscape with Cambo Actus and 7RIV.

When I bought it I compared it to Canon EF 100mm macro, the newer IS version. I took couple of close up pictures with Canon 6D, not macro, but quite near, 1:5 or 1:6, I guess. Canon was better. I left it aside. But still kept it in my camera bag. Some months later I wanted something longer than my SK 80mm lens. So I tried this bad performer. For my surprise it was very sharp in longer distances.

But I never did think it was a macro lens in over life size magnifications.
