As long as I succeed to concentrate the content of my pictures rather "tight", I'm deeply impressed by her performance. But, as soon, as the unsharp fore-/background is a fundamental part of the picture (or if DOF includes distances above 30 feet), I'm disappointed, and wished my old 2/35 Summicron back to me. Basically, the most fundamental and pronounced impression from this lens is it's sharpness, specially at f-stops between f 1.4 and f 4.
