Oldie but goodie For a 50-year-old lens, this lens is more than adequately sharp. Super well-constructed, “built like a tank”, with all metal construction. IMHO, one of the best overall values in the Leica catalog.
Great lens super potrait drops out in depth of field so much like ny old Leica R3 's Leitz 90 in the 70's-80. The age of film and real in camera work! Wham Bang!
Great lens at a great price. this is one of the earlier Leica "telephoto" lenses. it is also one of the best, lightest and most compact. with the addition of the Leica "macro extension" it makes an excellent macro lens. the lens is sharp, as you would expect from a Leica, through all f stops including the edges whether wide open or "stopped down". ALSO, it is one of the least expensive of the Leica lenses...an excellent buy!
