Period of use: 1 year

Strengths:

colour, contrast, resolution, flare handling

Weaknesses:

vignetting, mild colour fringing is good compared to many other new and old lenses but is more visable due to digital sensor capture vs film.

Comments:

Rollei/Carl Zeiss QBM 35/2.8 on dslr is excellent and will take the same picture as the new canon 40mm 2.8. the canon will actually produce a slightly sharper image if stared at magnified. And the Zeiss slightly darker shadows. focus control is one of the reasons I would choose this lens and not the canon
