Tom Abrahamsson reviewed this lens in Viewfinder and liked it well enough. I considered buying one, but went with the Russar instead, for reasons that were clear to me at the time but which I can't remember now... I like my second Russar (the first one had a manufacturing defect) just fine for outdoor work where sharpness isn't critical, but I often wish it were as fast as the Japanese (Adorama) 21mm. One often wants a really wide lens indoors in tight quarters, but with the Russar one needs either very very fast film or a tripod or a flash (and I don't like using flash on an M camera). - -Patrick
