Summary:

Over all the lens is very good. It is one of the sharpest lenses I gave ever used in medium format. The contrast is very good. the lens is very compact. With the split image finder in the camera, this lens focus is fast even in the studio.

Strengths:

Compact design, price on the used marketis great, strong build, very sharp.
It has a flat field and nice smooth out of focus area. It blurrs the back ground very well.

Weaknesses:

None

Summary:

If you do people or fashion and have a Bronica GS-1 this must be your standard lens ! (no joke)
This lens is superb even in the corners.
Also great in combination with a 6x4.5 back for vertical shots. Oh before I forget, buy the AUTO EXT TUBE G-18 also for even more close-up shots.

Strengths:

Sharpness is great.
Smooth focussing.
Soft sharpness is superb.
Even smaller than the standard lens (100mm).
Beautifull contrast.

Weaknesses:

No way :-)
