I owned one of these lenses and used it extensively with Kodachrome and
Velvia.

It's a very sharp lens, very well made.  However, the images were rather
flat-looking--didn't have nearly the life or "bounce" that I get with an
80s pre-asph Summicron 35.  Sold mine to Kyle Cassidy, who proceeded to
perform structural integrity tests on it in the sewers of central
Europe.

Best,

Anybody have experience with this len? 
I own a 15mm VL and is extremely happy with its
performance. Now I'm looking for a faster lens and
this one seems to fit the bill, if its performance is
anything like the 15mm.

Much less distortion than the 15 - much narrower field of view - much
less depth of field - much faster - and said to be competitive with the
last pre-asph 35 Summicron in terms of image quality. :-)
