While historical, this old lens is hardly high quality. As the article notes, the result is more like output from a Holga. It took a very experienced technician to design and create the camera adapter for this lens. The debate shouldn't be about whether to invest in a new camera or a high quality lens but rather how to learn how to be more creative with light (e.g. buy and use a Holga ...)
