This is the E39 version

All shot with the M9

Most of them straight out of the camera, a few had a little tinkering done in LR for contrast

Even the weather was not good during your visit in Rüdesheim great IQ. Clearness and sharpness top-notch. M9 like.

I won't pretend to understand all of that information, but from what I do understand it's an amazing lens. Surprised

That combo plays in an upper league Wink...
That's the sharpness I like.
Thanks for sharing, interesting samples.

Apparently, even the 1950's version is a good performer. I will have to try this version out too!

Very nice IQ indeed. When I found out that this is a Tessar design, it made me think of the Contax Zeiss 45/2.8 which I think gives a bit of the same feeling..
