What do you like most about this lens? Its sharpness?

Very nice. What is Neopan SS? I regret that Fuji discontinued Neopan 400 and 1600 before I had a chance to try them. I do like Acros II though and have a roll in the freezer I need to shoot.

I've only used it on Neopan SS so far, which isn't the best film for showcasing the sharpness that this lens is capable of (I'll get around to using it with some other films though). For me, it's the spontaneity of setting it to the hyperlocal distance at f/11 and being able to click away on the street, with scene composition being the only thing I have to worry about. I'm using it with an external finder that has 21mm and 28mm frame lines.
Neopan SS is an older style of film that Fuji began making in 1952 and discontinued in 2011. It has much higher grain than newer 100-speed films like Acros (even perhaps higher grain than Neopan 400 and Kodak Tri-X, and a softer image overall), so images frequently have a more vintage look.

Means you search the content.
The original thread is on fifth page here. Took me two minutes to find it.
MAM also incudes some logic. If this is soo long existing and common lens, where must be a thread with it.
But, big part of the problem, with old engine, RFF was fully searchable by Google. Now something is broken.
Also, on some forums, sticky threads have lists of lenses threads. Created, edited by admins.
