Based on the optical formula of the pre-war Carl Zeiss Biotar, it is sharp in the centre wide open, with a distinctive vortex rendering in the out-of-focus areas that modern lenses rarely reproduce. The fast f\/2 aperture helps in low light, and the all-metal construction and smooth focus ring make it a pleasure to use. In M42 mount, it fits a wide range of film SLRs and adapts easily to modern mirrorless cameras.
