Considering picking one up that is pristine, which is unusual. But it’s not particularly cheap so I’m considering it quite a lot. Form factor is very important to me as I travel a lot and don’t carry large bags when out and about so small, as in this case I s helpful. Performance is obviously very important to me too but I don’t make money from my photos, they are for me and my family, of our time together.

What I’m interested in are your opinions and experiences of the real world performance of this lens on film and on digital. I have a film M with 35mm frame lines, an old digital (M9/)ME and thinking of picking up a late m10 or m11 so use case would be on these 3 cameras.

Also, it seems that there are various different versions of this lens so any clarification on which you refer to or differentiations etc much appreciated!
