ML

Inspector’s condition notes

Like-new condition wide angle high-quality lens. See more reviews in the article at www.lensseed.com Opticals are perfect with no scratches. Focus and aperture operate smoothly like a new lens. Internal components are solid — no rattling or loose elements inside. The exterior body condition is like new, though there are 2–3 small spots of paint loss or scratches around the lens barrel edges, focus ring, or aperture ring (you have to look closely to see them). There is also an engraving next to the serial number, likely the previous owner's car license plate. Otherwise, it still looks new.

How this lens renders

Compared to other lenses 24mm of the same spec from the same era, this ML stands out for its compactness and delivers an easy-to-control film-like image tone that's a pleasure to grade further. At f/2.8 wide open, the center is sharp and practically usable; the edges go a touch soft with a slight vignette lending it some character (which fades when you stop down). Stopped down to f/5.6–f/8, sharpness climbs to fill the frame and contrast tightens up noticeably — this is the sweet spot for landscape and architectural work. Given the 24mm focal length and the deep depth of field that comes with it, background separation isn't the main selling point, but you get a wide sense of dimension and solid detail retention across the frame. As for flare when shooting into the light, you can play with it as a creative effect; if you'd rather avoid it, I'd recommend putting on a lens hood for backlit shots. Overall, this is a practical manual focus wide angle lens on mirrorless — a great match for someone who wants that vintage character in a single, easy-to-carry package that slips into a bag for any trip.
