I've used this lens on my M3 from the North Pole to the Equator 
between Berlin and Bangkok and even today can't believe how great 
(read sharp) the images are. Go for it! But be sure that you can 
adjust the f stop without turning the lens barrel with the lens in 
the fully extended and locked position. This will happen after twenty 
years of shooting since the bayonet lock-in wears a bit with time.
