I bought one last year from Adorama for use mainly on my Bessa-R. I think it
was around US$600. It seems solidly made and is quite light for its size.
Produces sharp results. Full aperture performance is very good IMO. The
included finder is nice & bright. I've been using the lens mostly sans
finder, though, and zone or hyperfocal focused with the camera at chest or
waist level. Lotsa fun!
