I had indicated that I had one and had no experience with it. That person asked for my comments when I tested it. I just returned from a four day vacation in which I used it extensively on my M3. I am happy to report that pictures in churches and other buildings in Germany which were hand held at 1/4 through 1/30 of a second at f1.5 turned out excellent in sharpness and contrast. A few times, I used a bean bag for stability. I am very happy with this lens. I, also, used a DR Summicron, 90mm Elmarit and, for castles on the Rhine, a 135mm Hektor. All performed well on color print film. Roland Smith
