This Travegar 100mm f3.3 is an interesting lens. I guess they designed it as a portrait lens of sorts, and it does have some unique qualities. At f3.3 it's very sharp, but not contrasty, quite the nice for portraits. Definitely not a very contrasty lens, even at f8, the lens lacks crispness. However, there is more to like about this lens than the Isco-Gottingen Isconar 100mm f4. The bokeh is actually pretty nice. The 0.9 meter minimum focus distance allows more opportunities at close up. In conclusion, $20 for this lens is well spent. Not often you can buy a lens made in Germany for $20, even one built as an economical lens.
