I do. I bought mine used (close to mint) from a fellow LUG guy and have
fallen in love with the lens. It's compact, smooth to focus, contrasty, a
dream to shoot chrome through. I've only used it wide open so far (5 rolls),
this being on purpose. At 2.8 the depth of field is nil, but what is in
focus is sharp. A wonderful lens.
