It is great for telephoto less good for WA only because of the 2x crop. M lenses performance is compromised by the unsuitability of a standard type digital sensor for M type lenses -and- the crop. They are not rubbish but justice is not done. If you wish to use M lenses on a digital camera M8 and RD1 are the answers IMHO.
