Yeah, Samyang/Phoenix/Kalimar stuff from the 80's is pretty low contrast with many aberrations, in good conditions they are honestly not that bad

My local camera shop has boxes of unloved gear, mostly k-mart tier lenses with various flaws. He's too honest to sell them as AAAAAA+++++ MINT on ebay & will accept any offer. Check your local shop for bins of misfit gear.

you likely want lense all standard glass elements with some coatings, like single coating purple or green or blue, or multicoating without nanosurface features, zoom has more of this thing than prime
