Didn't really find much on this but just wondering if anyone has this and what their experiences were.

It's so tempting!

Funny I just got mine on Friday and OMG, it is one FINE, FINE piece of artwork. It's been years since I used manual focus (FD days), but it's going to take some practice. The sample pictures I took were amazing. But there was an issue with AF confirmation being off focus quite a bit. See my post below (#68 ).

I'll contribute some images once I take it out for some real shoots.

Thanks for responding, I was hoping the focus confirmation would be useful. Hmm. If I didn't have any zooms then I'd just grab a split prism focus screen.

if you rely on the focus confirmation - you should be able to micro adjust...
