I bought the lens in june 1999.
I am really happy with it and the results are great.
Mechanically the lens is very well made. There are click stops
in the distance scale which makes the use easier since there is no RF 
coupling. The vieefinder is also really good.

Two thinks to be careful:
1) The meter on the M6 works but almost all the area is included in the 
meter. Caution with bright or dark items.
2) The lens is not too much flare resistant, especially if you put the sun 
in the frame. This is the only draw back I noticed (except that this is  not 
a leica lens :-) )

The price-quality ration is perfect and now I am thinking in buying a 15mm.

Hope it helps,

logan.
