Mine (75) wasn't. Used Leica lenses are bargains compared to new, and will last longer than the competition's new stuff. And you guess right. It's an awesome lens. I bought that before a Noctilux (other reason is I already have the 35 Summilux ASPH. When you shoot with it in dark places, it's amazing how it brings up the shadow details and gives beautiful renditions of scenes which you'd never guess would come out so well. It may not be as sharp as the ASPH 90 Summicron APO, but at 1.4 you're going to get sharper pictures than at f/2 in the same low light - hand held of course.
