I like it a lot. I often use it with a Leica 2X extender. In my case, I use it on an Olympus E-510, so I don't use the full frame. Focusing is quite critical, so the Live View of the 510 comes into play. I recently noted your question on RFF about the Summaron, but my reply didn't find you. The lens works fine for me, on my Bessa R2a.
