I won't say that it is bad; only that I didn't think the results were good. That said, I've taken a few absolutely horrible rolls using a 50/2 Summicron, so maybe I'd better bite my tongue until I've given that little lens a better chance of showing itself. Part of it may be that it came out on the heels of the 50/3.5 Heliar, and I was hoping that it had the same optical quality with a better build. I'll take it out this week and give it a chance to show itself one way or the other.
