I don't know this lens, and I'm interested in all available information,
specially because most users are rather ethusiastic about that lens. 

May I ask: If you don't use that lens at f 1.4 and seldom at f 2.0, where is
the advantage compared e.g. to the 2.8/80 Planar? I mean, e.g. a twin-eye
Rollei would have been less expensive.
