It caught a lot of detail in a low light situation which makes it a good lens.

Agreed. Very impressed with the older manual focus lenses. There is a lot more control than the auto focus, but of course not nearly as convenient..Definitely more fun to experiment with. Happy New Year!

Darling expression, with those child eyes. The softness of texture in the rest of the image, especially her hand, really show the magic of that lens. Thanks.

Thanks all for the replies. This has become my exclusive go to lens. I don't use anything else.
