I love my Contax Sonnars particularly for black and white film, and I'm sure this will be the uber Sonnar. The price could be scary, but probably worth it for "the look". Regarding comments about the original Sonnars performance I can only say that considering they are really really old designs I find them amazing. Even compared to today's lenses they are absolutely stunning.
