Not bad at all....

I'm presuming this is at or near the 24mm end (judging by other posts of the same view)

Difficult to judge from just one shot but the definition and colour rendering looks great for such an overcast day.

Do you think it has a little less punch than your KH lenses or is this an unfair call?

I think this lens will be better on a sunny day. This gives me a 48-90mm equivalent walk around lens with close up. Maybe the sun will come out and I'll find out. It is much slower then the Konica. Besides there aren't many lens that are as good as a Konica Hexanon 50mm 1.7.

Can't fault you on that - I have 3 KH lenses (28, 40 and 50mm) All of them were very cheap, are excellent performers and a joy to use (bar one)

The 50 has a stiff iris ring and is a pain to use but I have another on the way; for $20 including postage it's way cheaper than getting the other one fixed (although I may get my screwdrivers out and have a look myself)

The sun came out so I snapped this one. 24mm f5.6 with a hood.
