Very sharp wide open with impressive corner to corner performance. Color and contrast holds up well and pops out. Tessar formula gives it that really great 3D look and characteristic bokeh rendering at close distances. Smooth precise focusing throw for close-ups and combined with the additional life size adapter, it can get to 1:1 macro magnification compared to just 1:2 without. Even though the front element is fairly recessed deep, this lens is prone to flare easily when pointing at bright sources of light which is the only negative about this stellar lens.
