This old lens (from 1957) is very small and lightweight for a tele lens. It can be found for moderate prices and it's a sharp lens. Wide open it's sharp already, a tad soft at the edges. Stopped down it's simply sharp. At F 22 there is a bit of diffraction. This is a problem of the APS-C sensor size, not the lens (see comparison page).  You can also use it for portraits with shy persons. The lens has no close focussing capablities.
