I am just making an observation, that this lens was praised like it was the best lens ever made in that focal length a few years ago, and now all of a sudden it is a terrible lens. But then the responses to my post from a few, say it is indeed a very good lens. So lets drop this before it becomes another Nocti debacle.

Maybe on this thing we should find the specs. The MTF graphs. And or some reviews by people who sound like they may know what they're talking about. Instead of relying on capricious or even malicious chat group gossip. I can speak for the finish of the lens a chrome version which looked top Leica quality to me. If that accounts for much.
