Pros: The pleasantness of the image wins over everything

Cons: Easy to dull

Opinion: That might be the motto of this little guy... Very compact lens, used on Leica M3 and M4 P when I needed a discreet set, favored by the recessed and excellently sized mount. Even without a lens hood, I always had pleasant images with realistic colors and never disturbed by obvious reflections. A small jewel, unfortunately not long-lived due to the tendency of the front lenses to become opaque.
