This is the Cosina-Voigtlander Skopar 50mm f/2.5 on an M2 with Fuji 800Z.
When I got it cheaply 10 years ago it was then reputed to be "soft". Early-on I took a series of shots to try to reveal its nature... it didn't seem soft to me, but there's a touch of pincushion distortion. Its reputation has since been rehabilitated. 🙂

On a side note, the color-skopar is the only "tabbed" 50mm Voigtländer so far. Fine little lens.
