This design is well known for its lovely rendering. Stopped down it’s very sharp. It's also known to produces very lovely portraits when shot wide open. In the case of the latter, focus rolls off gently and the background bokeh has a soft rounded look to it. The lens is in exceptionally fine condition and it looks like new and it’s capable of producing beautiful photos with modern color \u0026amp; B\u0026amp;W film. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"mso-element: para-border-div; border: none; border-bottom: solid windowtext 1.5pt; padding: 0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt; padding: 0cm; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eIt comes complete with an original Voigtlander brown leather camera case \u0026amp; strap\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt; padding: 0cm; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eAll in all, a wonderful classic camera.
