I had Sherry clean and collimate mine, and despite what the nay-sayers might
intimate, it is a fine lens.

Have a summarit in LTM (Ser ~ 1,000,000).  It had a not bad, but noticeable
haze.  I sent the lens to Sherry...she performed her magic.  A CLA to bring
back to specs made a significant difference in the performance of the lens.
I cannot call the lens contrasty, and I can not claim tack sharp at 1.5.
But as you imply from about f2/2.8 with contrasty conditions this lens will
produce really nice pictures.  And....it has that 'glow'.
