The Voigtländer Heliar Classic 50mm behaves more like a 'toy lens' with intentional chromatic and spherical aberrations wide open, and yet deliver a relatively good and distortion free image when stopped down to f4 and above.

Voigtländer say that this is their 'best performance standard lens ever' and that's a pretty bold claim. It is a high performance manual focus standard lens optimised for the imaging sensors of Sony mirrorless cameras.
