Yes it almost seems like I'd sacrifice optical modern excellence to not be
holding a piece of junk with an aspheric element in my hand but get
something out of brass from the 70's out of Wetzlar hammered together with
wooden mallets.

I do own a 25mm f4 Color Scopar from Cosina had love its compactness and the
results seem fine in 11x14 darkroom prints from the past. Also a 45mm 2.8 P
lens for my Nikons which says Nikon by was made for them by Cosina and was
not cheap, is a Tessar really, cost me 450 dollars. And I shoot through the
center of it at this point. Its chrome not black. Its a pancake. Which I
love with blueberries.
