Not the greatest lens wide open, but combine it with colour film and aperture of f2 and beyond and it gives you look of the creamy/dreamy old Leica glass. Really unique look! One thing though; you must use the lens hood with this lens in bright outdoor light. Regards, Greg _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
