Sharp, Leica grade color rendition. Great bokeh... Not as sharp as the 100 f2.8 as you'd expect, but you don't need that sharpness for people. Whenever I use it, I never get the feeling that "I should have used the 100". I don't know about its flare suppression characteristics - never challenged it, and I always use the builtin hood.
