I have one of these. It's extremely sharp and very small, compared to the 120 mm CZJ Biometar.

 

The bokah is reputed to be pretty bad, but I can't say I ever noticed this to be a problem. One thing I like is that it takes 62 mm filters, the same size as Arsenal normal lenses. since I use an 80mm Biometar, which takes 58 mm filters, I got a 62 to 58 mm step-down ring, so I could use the filters and lens hood I already owned.They work fine, with no vignetting.

 

The only 'problem' is that the quality of the lens barrel construction doesn't compare to CZJ lenses, or to the better Arsenal lenses, like the 30 mm Arsat fisheye. Mine works fine though, although the automatic diaphragm mechanism needed service when I first got the lens.

It also has more slightly more light fall-off (corner vignetting) at full aperture than the 120mm Biometar has. But you might not notice this and even if you do, it is software correctable if you scan the frames.

Bokeh you have to try out yourself. At those cheap used prices no problem to buy them all...
