Crazy small world, ain't it?
I'm shooting Sony now with a mix of my old Pentax and Voigtländer glass, but got an email notification on this post from 2010 :)
Back story, on the 43mm - I worked in the Cayman Islands for a while, and after leaving my job there and returning to Canada to strike out on my own, I remembered a store on the island had some NOS glass. I emailed and asked them to give me a good price on all of their dusty lenses and ship them up. Since I was self (un)employed at the time, and had to sell all but one of the lenses to break even.
I still buy and sell lenses for fun and still cry on the way to the post office ;)

A testament to the AF and the very usable ISO 6400 and high dynamic range...I was able to get good focus, stop the action on a dim, cloudy day in the woods with a slow lens, and still maintain the dynamic range necessary to keep the snow from blowing out WHILE capturing details of a black dog.
Try this at home.

I'm amazed that people are judging lenses based purely on specs without some sample images to back things up. Bokeh, colour reproduction, sharpness (at borders, wide open), microcontrast. Yes facts are facts and it's a bit slower than the competition, but this lens could blow the competition out of the water in terms of IQ for all we know.
