Might be my screen, but I can't quite tell how those two prominent lights up top are held in place. I guess I'm thinking there's a wire.

It's a nice lens. Quite a number of them develop problems with the aperture blades getting sluggish or sticky.

This is good one
I needed to check myself, but in daylight it is obvious. There is a wire between poles to hang up the lamps.

On a Nikon D7200. Nice lens. It's a shame it does not autofocus on my Z6.
Cheers,

Should I believe my eyes, or is it a bit soft wide open and remarkably sharper already 2.8?
At least I thought so looking my pictures and now Antonio’s pictures seem to reproduce that.

I call this a great lens because you don't have to do any PP, it just does its thing. A lens rendering like this on a rangefinder would be very expensive, yet I often see it for $100 to $200 on eBay (bit of a "plastic fantastic" you see). I was going to use it as part of the January 20/20 thread but didn't as there wasn't much of a challenge, it's going to render great every time.

The photo of the young lady has a fair amount of skin smoothing applied in post. You should not judge sharpness based on that photo. The photo of the gentleman may have a bit of noise reduction applied to it as well. Having said that, it may very well be the case that it is softer at F2.0. I simply have never checked.
Regards,

Yes, I’ve found that fully open it is a bit soft but closing just one click make it remarkable sharper. Very nice lens altogether.
