You can use any magnifying glass as a photography lens. No aperture, no shutter, no focus, no zoom, shit quality, distortion, CA, softness, flare, at all settings in all conditions.

(Wicked fast though, one of my magnifying glasses comes out like a 210mm f0.4

but i find 50mm/2.8 with autofocus much more practical to use these days. I have the 1.2 front-shelved to prompt me to use it every time i go to select gear, but I always decide against it. I guess it just doesnt fit what I'm shooting lately.

Nikon 43-86 ai version (first gen) isn't so bad. I used it on a full frame and got good pictures with it. Stop it down and it sharpens up a bit.

Granted it won't outperform a macro lens or modern pro lens on things like sharpness and flare, but the hype on its badness is really just that - hype.

A lot of Minol5a lenses are great even on a modern camera. Be it their old manual focus MD lenses, or their autofocusing A-mount.

But a few are absolute trash.

These two are probably the worst. They sell for around $20 and aren't even worth that much. Terrible in every way optically and extremely low build quality.

You are pretty much right.

If i recall correctly, these were budget lenses for entry level stuff.

A few are okay. The 35-70mm is surprisingly sharp and dirt cheap. Though the older one is better.

You're describing the theme of the thread, dissing lenses because of defects we don't like. One man's defect is another's gimmick, of course, but it's still a defect just like vignetting and "ambient occlusion".

If you can't handle that then maybe you'll prefer Reddit.
