I've got the multicoated one but have not had much of an opportunity
to use it yet. Richard Sintchak bought the single-coated one in hopes
of using it for street photography in the 1950's tradition. Here is
one of his shots with the single-coated version.

The lens is very small for something as fast as 1.4. More like the
50/1.5 Sonnar than the 50/1.5 Summarit.

I'm going to try to use mine for some Christmas Eve shots in the
church if I can find some 800 ISO Fuji in the fridge.
