Nice video! wish you'd have added more impressions and photos about using this with the Sony though. How is the vingetting wide open? The sharpness? Thanks :) I am trying out vintage lenses on my A7 III and currently deciding on my next FD mount purchase, either this lens or the Canon 35-105mm F3.5 FD. This one seems to be faster and closer focusing distance than the Canon.

I only had brief time with the lens before it was sold as a kit with a OM2n. If I remember correctly, vignetting wide open is apparent, I have not had a vintage lens that doesn't exhibit heavy vignetting wide open, but since you are using it on A7 III, it's easily corrected in post. My only complaint is the size of the lens due to faster aperture at wider end.

@@TheGizmoGarage I see! Thanks for the info! Oh yeah the size of faster vintage lenses is a bit of a burdon. That's also one of the reasons why I'm hesitant to get another zoom. My Soligor 78-210mm f3.5 is even larger and heavier than this.
