Iso 320, F3,5,  between 1/125 and 1/350 hand held.

All are BW out of the camera, without any Lightroom process, only a bit cropping for some pictures.

F3,5 is not the best match to an M9 because you can shoot only with day light but I find the resolution, contrast, bokeh and color rendition outstanding.

Minimal distance to the subject is 0,7m so F3,5 can give a very shallow depth of field if one is near enough.

I should post a comparison to my Nokton 1.5 asph

I have the nickel limited edition of this lens, and it is the most 'organic' rendering of all the lenses I own. The images it produces on the M9 are amazing, although it's really a daylight only lens. Under shade on a sunny day, or a slightly overcast day, it's almost magic. Portraits with this lens are superb, giving a smooth but detailed look to faces with a sense of 'aliveness'.

I had f5.6 lens on M-E for few months. It was fine indoor lens with small hint of Leica flash. Went for f1.9 lens instead, but missing compactness and character of f5.6 lens.
