Overall, the lens reminds me of the Elmar-M 50 from a few years back - very sharp and contrasty.Optically the lens is very modern. I just wished they also used a modern lens barrel so the aperture ring stays put when you focus.
That was my biggest quibble with the VM Heliar 50/3.5... Combined with a lack of aperture stops it made for some excitement!

I can deal with the rotating aperture ring better than a click-less aperture ring.
