I got a Zenitar-K 16mm f2.8 as a gift a few days ago and got to test it out. Its a nice lens. My sample was made in 2000, and it does seem KMZ quality dropped a bit since 91. No more leather pouch, cooked built in lens hood, etc. But overall still good.

It does look very good on the Automat, for sure. 2 Eras in one photo!

Here are the results, on Fomapan 100:

Nice lens! :)

But I really can't stop think "I want an AT-gun in my front yard too!"
