Yes.

It's a nice little lens, which I love to use occasionally. I can't really tell you why, though, because it's sharp, but otherwise not stellar (a bit harsh bokeh, for example), rather on the slow side (f/3.5), focuses down to 1 m only and is a bit fiddly to operate. It's a collapsible lens, and the worst you can do is to not fully extend and lock it. Since the rangefinder coupling happens at the mount of the lens (which does not move with the rest of the lens) one doesn't notice this mishap in the viewfinder. The images are completely blurred, though.

Apart from that: a fun lens Smile
Quote:Any Leica lenses in queue too?
All brands I mentioned earlier in this thread are in the queue.

Next reviews scheduled: Leica Summicron 35/2 ASPH, Leica Noctilux 50/0.95 ASPH, SLR Magic 50/0.95
