Re: NX100 + Zenitar 16mm F2.8

I have the Zenitar 16mm in Nikon mount form. It is an incredibly sharp lens and a great value (at least it was several years ago). Focusing is a bit of a challenge, but the NX200 focus assist magnification does simplify things. On a full frame sensor or 35mm film the lens has a 180 degree (diagonal) field of view with considerable distortion. I haven't really noticed the CA that the OP discusses. My biggest problem with the lens is that it doesn't "lock" into my Nikon-NX adapter and I have to be very careful when changing f/stops. There is quite a bit written about this lens on some older web pages.
