It's a wee cracker of lens, an amazing ability to capture fine detail... just a joy to use on K1 FF, here's a recent one of mine.
I used extensively of FF cameras back in the day (LXs etc) just as a wide angle lens, which had extra capabilities if required.
It slows down the picture taking process, which I admit I do enjoy. It allows me the luxury of really checking what will become the final image in the viewfinder, because it requires a slight process to use, as opposed to dare I say with tongue in cheek point/click.
I still use use it to make myself disappear in and on reflective surfaces, rather than do the work in PP. I guess that's the journalist in me coming out where PP is almost forbidden, apart from a little sharpen and contrast.
