The starting of my collection, as it is one of my first lenses. Good optical quality, a little soft, but it's normal for a "portrait lens". Sold in a bakelite box with screwed cap, without any filter.
Samantha's point of view:"This lens, used at full aperture, gives a very soft effect, perfect for example for a child portrait..."Canon EOS 5D, Jupiter 9, f:2.0, 1/15s, natural light through the window.
