What do you like about this lens?

What do you like about this lens?

1) the sharpness on center
2) the transitions to OOF and creamy bokeh
3) the warm color
4) the tiny size of the lens
5) the chrome-over-brass Cosina-made barrel

The only thing I don't like is the hood, which can only be screwed off using the lenscap, and which prevents filter changing.

This is a real gem of a lens. Versatile and handy, it is excellent for both landscape and portraits.
 
I have one en route and I can't wait to slap it (very gently) onto my M8. I need, of course, to buy a UV/IR filter. What is the filter diameter? Thanks in advance!

i don't understand this comment.
i can unscrew the shade by pinching it with 2 fingers at one spot along the rim.
