It should still perform well in soft indirect lighting such as I used in my grand-daughter's portraits.
See what you can get out of it.

I just got my Piesker Votar 135mm with wonderfully blue iris I've never seen before.



Hope to be similarly exotic in drawing Smile

I have some old enlargers with similar blue aperture blades. They will reflect light and adds a glow in the photo when you point your lens to a strong light source.
