The 28/3.5 CV Color Skopar is a heck of a sharp, contrasty, compact and 
well-built lens. And you won't believe it, but wide open, with a sharp 
object in the close foreground, the background is beautifully rendered with 
a tiny bokeh (as with all Color Skopars btw). 

Sorry, Slobodan, mine is not sitting around but mostly mounted on a M6 and 
along with me. Get one at Cameraquest, as the used ones on the bay sell for 
about the same price. If you use filters, take care to get the rare slim 
39mm versions of B&W, Heliopan or Hoya, otherwise you might have vignetting 
problems.
