I like very much too that lens, I think it give a very special smooth tones, when I?ve tested it with the Monochrome the grey range was very rich. Last November I?ve sent the lens to Will van Manen for a CLA and to be 6-bit coded, I think that after that it is still better, and a thing I always appreciate very much, it is so small!!! if you use it without the lens hood is so small as it could be any collapsible lens, I?m very happy with it and I?m glad you like it! Cheers!
