Summary
This is one of the sharpest lense I have ever used, comparable to the 120 mm Zeiss lense which I also have. After I switch from 35 mm zooms to 645 primes, this lense is on my Contax 645 most of the time, for portrait and landscape. Very very sharp, fast aperture, with excellent color and contrast.
Strengths
See above
Weaknesses
Not a single one.
