Quite a nice beast.  I like the bokeh and subject isolation 
opportunities--seems much nicer than the f2.8 version.  I don't like the 
sawtooth bokeh when stopped down a bit--I think the aperture mechanisms have 
evolved.

See bokeh shape at F2.8.  

I won't be tempted to sell my Cosina Voigtländer Apo Lanthar 180/4  in OM mount 
that is dynamite at macro with or w/o extension and at intermediate distances.  
OK at infinity but not its strong suit and bokeh at intermediate distances can 
get busy.
It is a gem and fits in your pocket.  I am surprised they haven't reissued in 
other mounts such as Sony FE.  Did I say how small and compact it is?
