It is sharp and contrasty. It is rather heavy but balances well on an M6. An interesting thing is that according the lens diagrams for this lens and the 50 1.4, the designs are almost identical in configuration. Yet, the discussions of these lenses seem to indicate that the 75 1.4 has better wide open performance than the 50 1.4. I do not have a 50 1.4. Does anyone who has both lenses comment on the relative performance? Tom Shea
