Very sharp manual focus lens that can focus extremely close. My go-to lens if I only can take one! I adapted this lens to Micro Four Thirds cameras and the images it can take are very sharp, rivalling modern lenses. Not as compact as a native M43 lens but I like how it gives a 3D kind of render of the image where the background s just out of focus. Not exactly what I would call a creamy bokeh but still very pleasant. Great lens, tightly built, smooth focusing.
An excellent lens. Nicely made durable lens. I put it on a micro 4/3 camera and found its IQ to be excellent. The close focus feature gives more options without having to change lenses.
useful with the right adapter. I got this as a 'prime' lens to use with my digital Lumix G5 micro 4/3's camera system. Since I already have a collection of old 35mm Canon equipment, I can use it there, as well. The stock lens that came with my G5 has a max apt. of F3.5, so this gives me an option in low-light situations.
