Its a really interesting lens. Add me to the list of 'had but sold'.
I loved the results I got with it and the fast, smooth focus. It had the slight bit of wobble others reported but it didn't seem to cause any image issues. I used it on both an ltm body and on an M.
My interest in the lens was primarily about its compactness, fast focus and ergonomics. In the end, I switched to the Elmar-M as it was a bit smaller collapsed and just as fast to focus. At times I prefer the rendering of the 50/2.4 but the Elmar ticked more boxes for me.

Nice samples. I love the look, but as noted above, I'm questioning whether the size might be too large for my preferences. Since I'd be using it on a Barnack body of one sort or another most of the time, I'd hate to lose the compactness of the body because of a large lens.
