What is it, how well does it shoot, any surprises? In my case it's a Canon Serenar 85mm f1.9 used on an M-4p I bought it about 5 years ago for $125 plus another $25 for the screw mount to bayonet adapter. Eddie Tillis of Woodmere Camera turned me on to this lens. I'm very pleased with the images I get with this chrome beast. It's sharp, nice contrast...a very pleasant image for portraits. I used it a couple of days ago to photograph an arraignment of a rape suspect. Miserable overhead flourescent lighting, 1/60 second at f2.8 but the negs scanned beautifully. Of course the quiet Leica shutter helps when making photographs in the courtroom. Bill Bresler
