in sept pop photo, page 90 in their review of the null:

"superb performance [ from the 50mm f/3.5 Leitz Anastigmat ] --
 the second best 50mm lens we have ever tested (edged out only by
 the 50mm f/1.4 Zeiss Planar) ... when used within its parameters,
 this upgraded classic lens provides outstanding image quality."

so it should prove a capable, if clumsy, picture-taker.
