   Congratulations!! I am looking forward to the images.

      Thanks Mark. As you can see, it’s a classic-rendering lens.

      At f/1 there’s a lot of vignetting, not unlike many modern ultra-fast lenses. The bokeh is swirly (some will love it, some will hate it).

      The overall effect is “painterly”.
