Easier than imagined. I’ve never properly learned zone-focus, yet when I cornered myself by bringing only manual lens on a recent trip, I was pleasantly surprised how I managed. I still can’t zone-focus, I still wouldn’t use this to capture weddings, but I wouldn’t mind using it as my walk-around lens for street photography.

I expect to use this lens regularly the rest of my life. It's incredible! This lens is absolutely astounding! It's razor sharp and has a very narrow depth-of-field on both my Leica MP and Leica M9P. Film shot with this lens often approaches digital in quality. Colors and dynamic range are amazing. One of the best lenses I've ever owned, if not the best. Yes, it's very expensive. However, when compared to the cost of a Noctilux, or to the quality of lenses half as much from different camera companies, it seems like a pretty good deal. Unfortunately, I now want the Noctilux, also.
