This lens was a bit of a gamble, but the description in the ad made it sound much worse than I suspected it would be. I was right
Although it will need a CLA soon, it can make for some lovely images. I have to be very careful with backlight though.
Image made with a Leica Monochrom, at f/3.2 or so.

Thank you Sandro! It's indeed a lens that I am getting really really fond of. It has a very cinematic way of drawing an image, especially at wider apertures.

Thanks Michael, but the lens has in fact a relatively low contrast. The contrast seen on the 1st image is partly the lighting, and partly the processing.

Thanks! Yes, it's a lens with boatloads of character, and a very unique one at that. Hopefully the CLA will make it a bit easier on strong backlighting. |

this one is also better. Wonderful fantasic and 3d background, and we know as these are important things....
All the best,

Yes, the bokeh of this lens is quite something, even when stopped down a little |
