![]() ![]() The A series doesn't flare easily at all and in fact I rarely bring a hood. I prefer the A series for its speed because hte Super Takumar is also very clean and produces good looking images when used with its hood. I also have the Super Takumar 20 4.5 to compare this to. Zeiss was special purpose close focusing version Distagon and lacked the contrast I wanted. Canon had weird coma but otherwise crystal clean. Voigtlander was second best, but wasn't all that sharp and vignetted. I tried Voigtlander 20 3.5, Canon FD 20 2.8, Zeiss Flektogon 20 2.8 and finally the Pentax, which was better than the others. The best 20mm from Pentax in my opinion, and one of the best Pentax lenses ever.

I remember thinking it was either this or a Voigtlander Color-Skopar 20mm f3.5 at the time that the Pentax lens popped up on eBay. What a phenomenal lens this little package is.
