The quality is not as good as the current Leica lenses but not too bad either. It is very compact and light. A major problem with this lens is that it wil get spots in the glass. Probably some problem with the cement or coating. Until now I've not seen a clean example of this lens. Here in Europe you still pay approx. $400. For that money you probably can find a second hand Leica lens which will not have the spot problem. I use a second version elmarit which is good enough if stopped down a bit.
