Hi Paul, I don't know how it compares to the lenses for 35mm (never done any comparison side by side), but I used it extensively on both my 645 and 35mm bodies. It's a great lens, very sharp and goes to 1:1. It's probably the best built lens I own, too (and I own lots of lenses...). > Also does any one have any experiece using 645 lenses on their 35mm?

Not a great problem, though. I'm not using it often with 135 bodies now that I have a couple of 135 macro lenses (M 50/4 and Vivitar 105/2.5), but it's among my favorite lenses. You can see a couple of shots taken with it on the PUG: http://pug.komkon.org/01feb/LXdetail.html http://pug.komkon.org/01may/Bolle3.html http://pug.komkon.org/02jan/wing2.html (there is another one, http://pug.komkon.org/01oct/Orme2.html , but now I'm not sure if I took it with the 120/4...)
