The
24mm is one of the smallest Adaptall lens, and the second widest (the
widest being the 17mm f3.5). It is supposed sharper than it's cheaper
and more widely available 28mm f2.5 sibling. The one I have is the
second generation lens, but I think it looks better than the original
one. I fitted it on my Spotmatic and it just looks handsome on it!

| What a good looking combination. Shot with my Fujifilm X-M1 on the XF35 lens. |
The lens is not an SP (or Super Performance) lens, but I find that it is as good as those.
The
lens strong points is shooting close-ups wide open, with pretty good
bokeh, and the photos are actually sharper than if you take a subject
further. But the image quality gets much better from f5.6 to f8. Typical
of Adaptall lenses chromatic aberrations (CA) are common especially at
harsh back-lighting.
