Raymond,

I also have this lens. In my opinion, It is as good or even slightly better,
then the Leitz Hector from the same vintage. However the Elmar F4 is better
again.

Its a very nicely made lens. The mechanics are very good, but it is a bit to
heavy for me.

That is if we both talk about the chrome version.
