Lovely rendering how does it handle?

Lovely rendering how does it handle?

Thanks.

Smooth. Easy to focus, but focus ring turns counter clockwise to infinity. 

Long focus throw, around 300, for precise focusing. Damped.  Built-in Sunhood.
Close focus is 1.20m  which is very good,  bokeh nice

Weight and length are more or less identical as the Nikkor Ai-S  180/2.8 ED which is pretty compact for a fast 200mm.

Six lens elements and eight aperture blades makes it an uncommon lens.

No the palm was shot with the  200mm f/3    Vivitar Series 1  made by Komine  around 1977, a bit faster than the 200/3.5 ED

My copy needs some preparation shooting, fix the iso here at 64, choose manual, compensate 2-3 stops underexposure.

It would make a big difference if you had the lens chipped. PS you have set camera to 135mm I believe, but really this lens is one where we have seen the largest effect of a correct CPU!
