Anyone have experience with an 'M' converted 90mm Contax Sonnar?

I'm looking to have a Contax g-mount 90mm Sonnar converted to Leica M-mount.

Does anyone here have hands on experience of such a converted lens?
If so, can you tell me how well it handles in terms of focusing?
I'd be interested to see some pictures of the converted lens too, if poss?

Hello Hamish,

I've got a black 90mm Contax G converted to Leica M via JapanExposures:

Focusing? Just fine. Spot on. Never an issue. Here are three sample images:

And if you want to see photos of the lens itself (I'm not sure how appropriate this is, but anyhow ...) you can see them in my for sale ad here on RFF:

How about the actual process of focusing? How does the lens handle?
Have you got a clear side on shot of the lens?
I'm having my own lens converted, so it's not inappropriate as far as I'm concerned... 🙂
