No issues with performance yet, although I haven't put it through very stressful imaging tasks. The "literature" - Puts, etc, isn't too complimentary for the 3.5/3.5 Elmar. I also have a Summaron f3.5; not as compact as the Elmar. I read that the Summaron f2.8 is the gem to have, but quite a bit more expensive.

The chrome only like mine is a bit less collectable than the later black/chrome samples. There's actually one with 1 bid at $200, see #120114256942. I have seen some offered with buy-it-now for around $500 - which is too much IMO. Didier
