For me it is "the" all purpose Leica lens. I use it for portrait,
landscape and macro. I don't see any limit to it's use.

With the Apo 2X (200 mm =3DF/5,6), it's also extrordinary good.
The only problem is that the split-image wedge begin to darken with
apertures smaller than F/4. It's better to use a groundglass matte screen=

in such cases.
