It is the you-are-there feeling created by the bokeh wide open that makes some people be peculiar about the beauty of bokeh. The 58mm focal length enables more reasonable lens design. Actually, rendition is beautifully soft wide open, but the focal peak is solid. This lens teaches us that beauty of bokeh is realized by the sharp focal peak. Of course, it becomes razor-sharp by stopping down. And, this is a lens to enjoy manual focusing to your heart's content.

The reproduction of the colors on the palette explains the performance of this lens. It's so soft and gentle wide open.

Shooting under. Wonderfully sharp reproduction of texture and shadow tone.

The sharpness never becomes edgy, which is favorable.
