Was no success. If they would plan to manufacture M-lenses now, I am sure that they will do a better job. In addition, they should also have learned by manufacturing R-mount zoom lenses (Vario-Elmar R 3,5-4,5/28 - 70) for Leica. This having said, I have a hard time understanding why somebody would spend lots of money for a Leica body to put Sigma glass on it. Gerard Captijn.
