Got one for a nice price and tested it immediately in urban environment, under greyish sky. I've seen its pretty brilliant rendering in portrait/flower usage. So decided to see it first at infinity work, and wow, the rendering is really good. It does not have the same capillar microcontrast as the best Planars do, like Rollei or Pancolar. But the global contrast accompanied with a kind of shiny mildness of surfaces gives a very pleasant result.
All shots are taken with Sony NEX-5, autocontrast in most cases is applied and sometimes contrast is slightly boosted a bit more.
#1 W/O at infinity under a pretty nice light
#2 Closer, dimmer
#3 This one shows how good it is at 5.6 at infinity
#4 Mid-range at f4.5
#5 A 100% unprocessed crop from the previous
#6 Back to infinity under dimmer light, no PP
#7 A 100% unprocessed crop from the previous scene at f3.5, center
#8 A 100% unprocessed crop from the same scene at f5.6, center
#9 Just for fun and for a nice colour rendition

Thank you for your feedback, dear fellows!
I rectify: #1 from the first set is taken at f5.6, I mixed the shots by accident when posting.
Due to the virus, I presume more indoor shots will follow soon here in the forum, unless you have a chance of living in the countryside or having a nice backyard.
I benefit from still easy circulation in these days, adding some more wide open shots from public places, including the underground. With this focal length and f3.5 widest aperture it is not the easiest task to shoot indoor, even at ISO 800. But the shots that come well show once again a pretty pleasing rendering.

Just another shot showing how the lens renders artificial (neon) city lights: with a certain glow.
