I did. I love the look of images from my old 90 Elmar. So do my 
subjects. I'm suspicious of lenses that are sharper than my eyes.

I have a 75 Summicron-M APO F/2 for when I want sharp and crisp and 
contrasty. I can't use it on my IIIf, of course.

But mostly these days I use my Q2, which has a fixed 28/1.7 Summilux and 
a zillion pixels.
I bet there is a Thambar plugin for Lightroom if I want to get rid of 
sharp and crisp.
