I have one, and I agree it's an extremely sharp lens with better bokeh than
the 50mm f1.8. I don't use it for low light work because I find it harder
to focus because at non-macro distances, the focus changes fast as you turn
the ring (this is true of all macro lenses used at normal distances). I
don't think it's bokeh is as good as the Summicron, but it's sharpness I
think is better.
