Subject: Summilux-R 80mm f/1.4 info wanted
From: Pascal <cyberdog@ibm.net>

Anyone having experience with the Summilux-R 80 mm f/1.4 lens?

I heard from Leica people that this lens is a great performer at and around
the biggest apertures (1.4, 2.0, 2.8) for which is has been built.
It's purpose would be available light photography. They said that quality
of this lens would be deteriorating if used at normal (smaller) apertures.

How about this? How are the results at the biggest apertures? Can this lens
also be used as a multi-purpose lens, or is it really limited to available
light?

Thanks for input!
