Its maximum aperture of f/4 is modest, but that’s the trade-off for this compactness. The aperture stops down to f/22. Minimum focus distance is about one meter, which is standard for a 90mm M lens.
Build quality is solid, with a metal barrel, precise rings, and reliable rangefinder coupling. On Leica M bodies, it remains usable with the 90mm frame lines. On the CL and CLE, the corresponding frame lines are present, but the short-base rangefinder on these bodies makes focusing at full aperture less precise than on a Leica M.
Optically, it’s praised for good sharpness from f/4 onward, with decent contrast and a rather soft, natural rendering. Sharpness improves when stopping down by one or two stops. The bokeh is pleasant without being spectacular, given the limited aperture. The Rokkor multi-coating provides good flare resistance, though backlighting remains its weak point.
