Hello thanks for the review. I had one a bit over a year and half ago: once I did get it calibrated with my (now sold) M240, I was very happy with the image quality (overall very very very good: the only Leica lens I've ever owned was the 35mm Summicron ASPH which produced much much lesser quality images than this gem..........sorry for the Leica fan boys out there but that's my experience). I did have one issue with the lens: the focus tab didn't go all the way to infinity therefore the objets shot at infinity didn't come into focus: there was no way I'd get the focus patch to lign up when shooting any object farther than 50m. The last drawback that made me sell it (once I sold the M240): it would not lock into the mounting bracket of my M6 (which has never happened with any lens: third party or not). Just one note, at 3:10, you say that it focuses down to 0.2m???? Mine went from 0.7m (as most leica M mount lenses do) to (almost) infinity but never did lower than 0.7m????

Interesting review, thanks. I was surprised a the size but I guess that’s down to the f1.4. Not tempted though, my Zeiss Planar 50/f2 is perfect for me. The 21mm review will be more for me as I mostly shoot with an Elmarit M 21/f2.8 Asph.

Thanks for the comment Nick, The build quality is amamzing on this lens, as is the 21mm which review is alredy in the works. Never tired any other M mount lenses other than Leica or TTArtisan, might try to see if I can get one for the channel one day to compare.
