Sharp, sturdy and a pleasure to use, especially for street photography. A classic lens still suitable for digital photography. Metal body and easy to mount on modern cameras with an inexpensive adapter. Contrast is exceptional and the 45mm focal length is great for street photography. It even has a zone focusing mark for f/8 use which provides excellent depth of field control for quick shots that you might otherwise miss. At around $200 for a good copy it represents and excellent value for the money. Highly recommended.
great buy Most underrated C/Y mount Carl Zeiss lens. Super sharp, great for a wide breadth of subjects and easily adaptable to Fujifilm X series cameras.
Sharp, Compact Lens I'm using it both on my Contax SLR and mirrorless camera with adapter. Excellent contrast and sharpness in a very compact package.
