Subject: [Leica] Summarex opinions?

During a bout of insomnia at five o'clock in the morning a couple of days 
ago I bought myself an 85/1.5 Summarex on eBay.  (It's unfortunate that if 
you live in the UK many eBay auctions end at times at which your judgement 
is not likely to be at its best!)  I know that the consensus about this 
lens seems to be that it was not a stellar performer, to say the least. 
 Can anybody tell me anything about the 'characterful' (I'm being positive) 
aberrations that I can expect?

Simon,
London.
