I nearly bought one about 3 years ago; the secondhand sample I tried was sharp, super bokeh
The screwdriver focus seemed outdated, particularly on a tele lens with a long focus travel
What makes it a no-no for me is the purple fringing around highlights and the strong blue CAs at full aperture on high contrast subjects. See samples on www.the-digital-picture.com
