As a high speed lens it is basically useless...There is an incredible amount of flare and coma at f 1.4-f2.0. Some have called this "character". If that is so I have an Argus C3 I will sell you with "character" comming out of its rear! If you really need 2 extra stops spend the money and get the ASPH. If you are just looking for better overall performance try the Summicron or even better the new Summicron ASPH. I have recently compared these two lenses and the f2.0-f2.8 improvements are fairly dramatic. Used Summicrons are avail for bargin prices now, and will outperform the old Summilux DRAMATICALLY in many situations.
