A friend offered to sell a few of these to me for a bargain. Anyone ever use them? Any good?

Its probably sharp enough, but that background is incredibly jarring! Some truly ugly bokeh!
If it is the same lens as this one then it gets good reviews:I’m interested in my buddy’s COSINA Ai-S 24mm f/2.8 lens. However, there is not much info about this lens out there. Primes like this are usually pretty solid and hard to produce sorry ones, but has anyone ever used or know about this specific lens?
Thanks!

I think Cosina is a good manufacturer that is capable of very high quality products. They would make lenses and cameras that would meet the specs and price point. So for Cosina product I think you get what you pay for.Cosina also makes the ZF.2 and ZE lenses under the name of Carl Zeiss, these are really good.
Others? Can they be that bad?
Exactly. Cosina has made products for other brands - and to their specs - for decades. It's a company with a lot of experience with optics and they are capable of building extremely high-quality lenses but, because they build for other brands, they build to a price point and that always comes with compromises. They quality of their lenses depends entirely upon what price point they were building to. Zeiss and Voigtlander branded Cosinas are very good. Cosina branded lenses run the gamut but can be very good as well.Cosina also makes the ZF.2 and ZE lenses under the name of Carl Zeiss, these are really good.
