What do you think of the VM APO 50/2 so far?? Looks pretty damn good to me
It is pretty damn good. Excellent build quality, not too big, very sharp, and contrasty. The latter quality came as the biggest surprise because my most commonly used lens with the M246 lately has been the Summicron Rigid. The M246 produces flat looking images out of the camera by default and the Rigid lowered the contrast even more. No big deal, I modified a preset that Hamish Gill of 35mmc.com recommended as a starting point with M9M files. This preset turned out to be unnecessary with the VM APO 50/2. I'll add a longer post with more images to the thread dedicated to the lens but, in short, it's a keeper.
