It is very capable if almost wide open and all way down to f8.
But it is better to have object at some distance, mine wasn't great for close focusing wide open.

I think, this one was close to wide open.

Anyway...The sharpness sweets pot is between f/5.6-f/8

I guess there are two sides to every story. I had my 1936 Summar professionally cleaned, but it produces cloudy images nonetheless. My experience with this lens has retired my Summar-lust.
