30 years old lens is still good for digital pixels.

I just found recently an old lens for my Pentax K-mount digital camera.
My camera has APS-C sensor so this Exakta 24 mm fix-focus acting something like a 37 mm normal lens.
Which is exactly what I was looking for and its price was only 50 Euro, so I bought it.

And here is a few picture I toke it to see how it works. The camera is by the way a Pentax K-01 with 16 megapixels.

This lens has many clone back in the 80's and it was very popular. In fact this one is a clone as well, I think the original maker was the Cosina.

I am addicted to the old lenses before everything went digital. Turns out they knew what they did back then as some are really gems when used on a #DSLR. This one seems to be really nice... Good catch!
