I used it extensively until last year (1999). I is a great performer and even though being a Minolta lens, color balances exactly with all Leica R lenses. My only complaint is that at f/16, diffraction seems to take over slightly softening the image. But unless you are going to make 16x20's, you'll never see it. It's close focusing ability is a great feature. If I needed a 24mm R lens, I would buy another. Jim
