Rated 4 out of 5

Beautiful lens that shoots very good images but its not for me.

Not terribly impressed. It creates good images but slightly soft even at the center. This can be pleasing sometimes but a lot of the time I shoot with it the results just look like I missed focus. It's a great looking lens that's well built and reasonably sized but I prefer to shoot with my 50mm M Summilux black chrome edition which looks almost the same and is smaller and cheaper. I doubt I will be keeping this lens.
