I had one in M mount several years ago.  And, yes, for me it was the 
poor man's Summilux. It had a tendency to flare rather badly when a 
light source was in the picture.

The internal glass on mine ultimately went bad, and I suspect that 
this may be a common failing of this model especially at this stage 
of its life.
