This is a hard to find lens.
It's lightweight, compact, has a bubbly bokeh, wide open is a bit soft. Call it "glamour" look... ok, maybe not too sharp wide open, specially when shooting further that 3 feet from subject.
Contrast and color rendering: 7/10
Some chromatic aberration present wide open and very improved at f/4
On test, shooting at 30 degrees of light source starts showing some ghost/flare, which I suspect comes from non-coated front element.
Focus throw is about 80/85 degrees.
Definitely a "close portrait" kind of lens.
Only negative observation is that the closest it can focus is almost 2 feet.
Photo below was taken wide open (f/2.1) at the closest focusing distance.
