Most reviews of this lens talk of possible chromatic aberrations with digital cameras. How big is that an issue for folks here? Has anyone used it with a Fuji X or a digital Leica?

Thanks! I'm super happy with this one. I did rattle another frame off without the guy in the foreground but it really makes the shot.

The guy in front is great.
Verifies the candid nature of the image.
Love it! Congrats.

Nice!
I'm happy with two (for now) another and slower 50 (better build and handling, same or better in color), but I swear this lens was good on BW film and to me it was best lens for BW on M-E so far.

Tried giving flatbed scanning a go tonight because I'm having a hard time finding some darkroom time! Had this roll hanging waiting for some love the last couple weeks. I forgot how big of a pain in the ass flatbed scanning was. Missing my nikon scanner...

I just received my chrome 50/1.5 VM today and am quite impressed. Checked critical focus at all MFD and all apertures and it was pretty close to dead-on with my M-D (ever-so-slightly back-focused at f/1.5, with focus point right at edge of depth of field, dead-on at all other apertures).
Bokeh is nice, lens is sharp and the chrome body is a thing of beauty. I can't wait to go shoot with this thing.
I also own the VM 35mm f/1.4 S.C. and while the build quality on that one is nice (it renders pretty well too, like a 35/1.4 Pre-ASPH, but sharper wide-open), the 50 build quality is on a whole other level.

Won't be posting any film stuff anymore. No scanner to scan my prints. But I still get out with the 240 these days. Trying to replicate that tmax 400 look I used to get when I was scanning with the nikon coolscan.
