I used this lens for several years and felt a reserved character. I remember it is not amazingly sharp. After I got a 35/2M asph, it always remained on the shelf, and I parted with it. Recently, however, I feel like using this lens again because I am now interested more in older lenses than in the current razor-sharp ones. One with the E55 thread for 400 USD is a bargain.
