Not sure. Compared with pancakes, it is big, it has a DOF equivalent f/5.6 which is pretty rubbish for portraits and worst of all, it's incredibly overpriced. Some voigtlander m-mount pancakes might fit the bill, pity they're manual focusing only <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Sure there is an ugly line in the back ground, but that is a mistake of the photographer and not a lens issue.
Considering the price tag, don't you value the Leica name <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
