This is a legendary lens, regarded as one of the best ever fitted to a 35mm compact. It has a 5 element Sonnar-like layout, as shown by this diagram by Marco Cavina:





Remounted for use on M4/3, here on my OM-D E-M5, a superb lens, sharp even wide open with that classical smooth Sonnar rendering, just lovely.

These are all wide open at F2.8:

That car back was pretty trial for such glass. Otherwise fine rendering and contrast.

Yes, I deliberately shot the reflection on the car to see how the lens handled CA on highlights and how good the coatings were, I think it did rather well in both instances as there is virtually no CA and it's retained a good level of contrast despite the very harsh light.
