Great lens with a dual personality -- pretty sharp stopped down and dreamy wide open. This shot is stopped down to about f2.8 or f4.
It's also a tiny lens, about the same size and weight as the 35mm Summicron v1 or 35mm Summaron.

I've posted a few photos taken wide open at f/1.4 on my flickr page in the album Vassanta Vassanta (Kristina) which show the alternative character of this lens and the reason I really like it. Because of less well corrected aberrations at that aperture it renders in a nice soft, dreamy style, kind of like a wide angle Noctilux. Even at it's softest, it's still sharp.
Because some of the photos are nudes (hopefully artistic) I thought they might not be appropriate to post here.
