I have been working with this lens for only 1 week on an M9. It is without doubt one of the finest I have ever used. At f1.4, central image is extremely well detailed even at the minimum focusing distance of 0.7 meters, thanks to the floating elements. The corners are very slightly softer at 1.4 but more than able to render sufficient detail, and of course there is noticeable vignetting wide open. Stopping down yields fantastically crisp, 3 dimensional quality with beautiful tonality, corners to corners. It has a "just right" degree of contrast, not too much to clip highlights or shadows. Form f4 down, this lens is probably the finest quality 21mm lens made for the 35mm camera. At 1.4-2, it's the only 21mm of it's kind. the ability to achieve selective separation of subject and foreground and background yields a totally unique image at 21mm. Ridiculously expensive, and that good a lens. Lastly, for an external finder, I highly recommend the Zeiss 21mm finder which is gorgeous to look through.
