The 80 is even rarer by a good bit!

Have you got the Nikon F mount with it?

The 40/2.8 Sonnar RF purchased new from Robert White had a build quality typical of CV, i.e. less than ZM and Leica. The focusing mount has a slight play and the rf focus needed minor tweeking for optimal sharpness, but I tend to be pickier than some. Fortunately DAG corrected both problems at a reasonable cost. Once properly adjusted, image quality is as good as anything I've tried from Leica.

No, I have not. I only have an M8 these days. I definitely like the lens. It provides a really different "feel" than my other two lenses.
