[72°] Solid build. Sharp wide open (with some vignetting). Straight lines. Third place behind Leica Summicron ASPH and Voigtlander Ultron ASPH v2. Great compliment to APO 50/2 VM and Leica Tele-Elmarit-M 90/2.8 - light trio - when we're not shooting 24/3.8, 35/1.4, 75/2. Nice boxed set with push-on front & rear caps, plus rectangular push-on (tighten screw) hood. Highly recommended.

[f/5.6] Have had great fun with this lens so far. Great with film and with digital. When adapting to mirrorless cameras with a helicoid adapter close focus is quite effective. Well built, good-looking lens. For this price I definitely recommend it.

[Full-Frame] I owned the Leitz summaron which this is copied after. I sold it because I thought it was too soft. This lens for about 1/10th the price was soft as well, but, stopping it down to f16 really helped and it had a very pleasing old world style. I'm keeping my elmarit and using this lens for just knocking around. It feels just as good as the leitz. My only complaint was that the paint was chipped on the black lens hood out of the box. Worth the money.

[28mm] This lens, is a small but mighty lens. 3 things... 1. Its price, is unbeatable! 2. The image quality, I can't even see the flaws that pixel peeping are saying! 3. That size is truly what stands out. It's a great lens, whilst it isn't the fastest lens, it gets the job done. I'm truly surprised how amazing the image quality for this lens deliver, it gives that nostalgic film lens, the imperfections, the time to master the focal length and framing. It's such an incognito lens that I can vanish as I walk around the city of New York. This lens is a fraction from it's competitor Leica, but is it a true replica, I dare say... it could be! This might be my daily lens for awhile now.

[Manual Focus] For less than one tenth the price of the Leica Summaron it's a ridiculous great deal

[37 mm (Front)] The finish and package are excellent and pay attention to details. Other than slow f5.6 aperture, it is a modern lens worth to try and own.

[37 mm (Front)] The sharpness of this lens is amazing! Compare to Leica Apo Summicron-90mm, the sharpness at maximum aperture is exactly the same. I am using these two lenses on M11.

[f/22] It works well and performs as well as more expensive leica lenses

[1.125 lb] The moment TTArtisan announced black brass version of this lens, I preordered it. I was pleasantly surprised by its build quality and the spring loaded infinity focus lock. It feels great when I mount it on my M-E Typ 240 and M6 bodies. Image quality is good too. Wide open doesn't vignette too much. This would be my standard point and shoot lens in broad daylight.

[37 mm (Front)] What a fun little gem! So, to get this out of the way, no this is not a modern rendering, pixel peeping lens. It's a still super sharp unique street photography machine. Set it to f11 and infinity focus and go. Great lens to document life. Initially, I did have issues with the M to L adapter but after turning on and off exposure preview, the problem was fixed. Have the black version which should eventually start brassing. Excited to see that too,
