It has a multi-blade diaphragm that forms a nice circle, and is physically among the smaller 85's. My main test for a lens is how it works at the wider apertures, so here are some examples from it: At f/2: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/DramaBaby_AMR.jpg.html> At f/2.8: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Fowl_AMR.jpg.html> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Portraits/Hank_AMR.jpg.html> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/CowEye_AMR.jpg.html> I also have an Enna Lithagon LTM 85mm f/1.5, but haven't scanned any negs from that yet.
