This image in particular shows what this lens can produce. Just look at the fine detail on the nearest flower, especially the leaves at bottom right. This to me is just amazing, and to think that this lens isn't in the €1000 league. The price was very affordable and is a real bargain when comparing this lens to the new Voigtlaender 35 f1.2 II. OK, some might argue that a 50 isn't a 35 and that f1.5 isn't f1.2 but please ask yourself how many people will notice the difference in everyday use. I know I personally find it difficult to distinguish which image was made with which lens.
