Period of use: 72 months

Strengths:

Deservedly famous for bokeh, very well built, small, sharp, fast, good flare resistance, and relatively cheap.

Weaknesses:

This version has a mechanical conflict with the M42 adapters that include a stop-down ledge so that it cannot focus to infinity on those adapters. It works fine on ones without the ledge.

Not as good IQ on a focal reducer (due to field curvature?).

Comments:

A really nice lens in just about every way.
