Way better than expected.

B&W images are analogue film (Rollei RPX 100) and color are taken with a Canon 500D

At f3.5

Man, that is an old lens! I have one that looks almost the same, bought it probably about 1965. The ring nearest the back with the f-stops on mine is sliver and does not have any markings on it. Paid all of $20 for it from a camera shop going out of business, selling everything at 50% off. Used it for many years with my Canon cameras.

May I ask why you are testing such old lenses? Just to see how good they were?

I do it for fun, did test shots for my self before I started my blog just to se how good lenses are etc.
And when you find a gem like this that cost like a bigmac but is just as good or outperform even a new expensive lens is really fun
