Eric,

I almost did get this lens two weeks ago, did some test slides with it and
yes the results are amazing. 

The reason why I did not went ahead and buy it was:

a.) it was a new item and the price was $1900.00
b.) I found it to be a little bit short for landscape
c.) I found a good used 90/2.0 summicron so I went ahead with this lens.
d.) It takes getting used to since the framelines is so close to the 50mm.

However in the future, I will buy the 75/1.4 !! 

Every now and then I look at the slides I took from this lens and its
fantastic esp at f1.4 !! Quite something ! Good luck with it!

regards

Ferdinand
