Hi all,

Has anybody done a comparison of these two lenses? How do they compare?
Is one better than the other?

Any positive and/or negative comments welcome.

Cheers,
Bogdan

I've had them both and I've sold the Mir. Single-coated, rotten contrast
and a nasty barrel distortion. Plus the usual clunky mechanics of all
Arsenal lenses, well probably with the sole exception of the 35 mm.

Definitely no fun. Still happy with the Flektogon though.
