I think it's great. Nice and sharp and really yellow. Surely a keeper. After all: "A thing of beauty is a joy forever". Regards.....Dennis

Thanks Dennis. This lens is tiny by todays standards. It is not great for city photos (too long) and I am spoiled with zooms. Things do seem to come out crisp though. And the shallow DOF is very usefull, if you need it. I will not show you the photos where I angled the camera slightly up and bang - the wrought iron fence top was out of focus (no loss - but a good lesson when working with such lens). Pavel

This is an interesting technical test. I can see that the chain on the right is just dropping out of the plane of focus, but overall its held a strong impression of sharpness. Do you remember how far away you were from the hydrant?
(I had never noticed that fire hydrants speak French.)
