Exceptional Performance Analog and Digital

Most often shot wide open, f/2.0. Easy to focus and no distortions. The lens hood works well with an E39 filter attached. The lens is small and well balanced.
For photographers with large hands you might wand to buy the classic black matte APOI 50 lens with the tiger claw focusing at an additional 100 grams weight.
