What an awesome little lens. I got the 45/2 after owning the 35/2 for a while, which was a bit disappointing. Quite on the opposite, this lens is razor sharp at all f's, while bokeh is absolutely stunning at f:2 (it gets a bit ugly when stopped down).
Used it to shot all kinds of films, but I particularly enjoyed the look of slides (they just sparkle!) and high contrast BW film. Review by: Rijuer on Oct 5th, 2007

Stunning lens with great sharpness, clarity and "feel." The G lens to own if you can only afford one. Used on my vintage G1 camera.

Very good at f2, stunning at f4-f8. Equal in optical quality to a Leica but has a differnt look - particularly, out of focus background is distintively Zeiss. Considering you can pick these up in mint condition for less than $200 (and a G1 body for similar), it must have one of the best value/quality ratios of any lens.

The sharpest lens I have ever used. The contrast is amazing.
