Its a great lens. If the length is good for you then go for it.
You other possible choices (new) are the 75 and the 90 ElmaritM
If I could only have one I'd pick the 75. Fastest and I like the shorter 
length because it gives less flattening of features, but the extra reach 
of a 90 can be good too.
The 75 has a more classic Leica look, the 90 ASPH will match the other 
ASPH lenses if thats what you've got. The 90 ElmaritM is a lot less money 
if you don't need/want speed its great and its smaller and lighter.

All three are * FINE * , you can't go wrong.
