Optically, it inherits the Sonnar formula’s characteristic rendering: a smooth background blur without the Helios 44-2’s swirling tendencies, strong center sharpness with a gradual rolloff toward the edges, and a color rendering — particularly in the green channel — that has a coolness contemporary photographers find refreshing after years of the warm-biased output from modern lens coatings.
