This picture was taken wide open with a AF assisted EOS-M42 adapter. As you can see, wide open is quite usable, but focus needs to be precise.

magnificent photo.
I have this lens too, but struggled with it early because i was using it like a general purpose 50mm.
the depth of field is razor thin, its resolution at inifinity is so-so and i initially thought thought it was a soft lens.
i also thought the colours were a bit washed out.
BUT, I have since used it a bit more and found out what it really can do. For portraits, its an amazing lens.
