The lens makes an M camera pocketable. I liked the fact that it has an extra stop over a recent elmar (2.8 vs. 2.0). It also has a nice, smooth, out-of-focus rendition of the background in wide open shots. Sharpness and contrast improve considerably at 4 and above. Wide open, the lens is a bit prone to flare.
