Of course there is no such thing as a perfect lens so here are the cons.
Contrast is certainly lower than a more modern lens.
Not necessarily a bad thing since nowadays it's really added in post.
Flare resistance is lower with the older coatings and need to be watched out for.
The size starts to get big taking the size advantage.
It's still smallish though.
Just getting nearer to a SLR 50/1.7 to start getting a feeling that the size advantage is draining away.
