I just got this lens in really nice condition with clean optics and immaculate body. I've not used it in anger yet, but from just dicking about indoors, it has really endeared itself to me. Seems to just snap into focus, F3.5 seems more like 2.5, looks to be sharp as a button and is lovely to handle on my 600D. I'm hoping to give it a good workout tomorrow and will stick up some pics.
It already seems a bit special to me, anyone else got this lens and love it??

A rather scarce lens and quite collectible I think. I've wanted one for a while.
In its time zooms were far more popular for that focal length. You will find plenty of the old Adaptamatic (which is a different formula), but not this one.

Perahps more common over this side of the pond - crops up fairly regularly, 20-50 quid is typical.
Near SP sharpness IMO - but more prone to fringing than its predecessors. I did a comparison:
