I have received this lens in the mail today (more on that in the Manual Focus Lenses section later).
My preliminary verdict: I'm glad that the lens does not behave like my other portrait lenses, but really has its own character. Wide open it has a nice glow around the subject and that really works well in portraits I think (especially in no. 1; no. 2 is at f/2.8 ). However; it sharpens up nicely after a few clicks of the (pre-set) diaphragm. The roof shot is at f/5.6.
What do you think?

The glow is out-of-this-world! ... gives a special note to the photographs.
1,6,7 are my faves.
And I especially like #8 ... the sarcastic version on "nederlandse klompen"

Hey Tobias, those are my humble (and plastic) clogs
I think the lens' Ernostar roots, designed by Ludwig Bertele, are clearly visible in my test shots. I have googled on the Ernostar design and indeed the bokeh looks similar. Quite nice to have this lens in my collection! _________________ Peter - Moderator

The glow is very interesting. Bokeh is not the best possible, but it has certain “vintage” charm. At least this lens has unique character. |

I just love this glow! Excellent!
This gives so much more to a picture than absolute sharpness.
The bokeh is good, not perfect, but the lens handles even the tricky parts in the bg well.
Fantastic new acquisition! _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!
