Oh sure, had one. Pointed into the AZ sun it was a bit flare prone,
but a great lens otherwise. Got the 35 Summilux ASPH to replace
it. Better with respect to flare, probably a bit sharper at f2 and
has the f1.4 to expand the shooting clock, but the darn thing is big!
That 'cron of yours, Carl, is *the* perfect lens to stay on your M6
while roaming the streets of Paris.
