I thought your question was a joke... It's a lens. You put it on a camera and use it.
If you don't like it, well, it's your choice. There's a reason why people use different lenses,cameras,PS techniques,etc. That's why we even have Alternative Gear&Lenses forum on this board:
https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/board/55

Not everyone wants to use the same boring gear as everyone else.

Hopefully that clears things up!

I was not joking, quality of this optic is mediocre, resolution is crappy and if you put it on you whatever 12+MP camera it is waste of megapixels, that was my point, I was just curious to know how you would you use it.

PS. There is only one topic on 40-2 in that forum.

I have the Helios 40-1 85mm/1.5 lens. I think they should have about the same sharpness:
Helios 40-1 Sharpness
I think it is sharp enough to make images for non-pixel-peeper :-)
