That's actually the most interesting review that I've read. The three
comments at the bottom were the most interesting where he told why he sold
the lens:
1. Too heavy (I agree)
2. Not THAT much faster than a f/1.4 (I also agree, push your film another
stop)
3. The DOF at f/1.0 isn't that easy to manage, so why try.
This guy also seems to be into praising something, then selling it. I
looked at his reviews of the Contax G2, Noctilux, Leica M6, CV 21/4, and
other CV gear. He's sold them all after less than 18 months in favor of a
Mamiya M7II. I think that he needs to take more pictures and deal with
less gear.

As someone once said you can spend $4000 on a new Leica and lens and
get a small improvement in your pictures or you can spend $4000 on a
medium format camera and get a HUGE improvement in your pictures.
