Harvey,

I just picked mine up a couple of weeks back. I only use M film cameras so 
I've used it on my M6. I am quite happy with the image results I've got so 
far. However, be aware that the build quality of this lens is a notch below 
past Leica standards (IMHO). It is more akin to the Zeiss ZM lenses.

The Zeiss 25/2.8 is every bit the match for the Leica 28/2.8 Asph lens. It 
is a little bigger though.
