Does anyone have any info on the Leica C2-Zoom? Was it Minolta made? I got one to tote around when I didn't have the R with me. It delivers pretty good results, though not as contrasty as the Sonnar T* on my wife's Yashica T3. I have never seen a used one in the KEH or other catalogs, and no one here talks about it! Sometimes I feel like it might be the "red-headed stepchild" of the Leica Family! Also, I was contemplating a wider lens (R type) than the 35/2.8 I have; specifically for interiors and buildings. I have seen the 28mm PC-Super Angulon-R and the 19mm -R, both used and in great condition, and at about the same price... I am leaning toward the 19mm, but wonder if the 28 wouldn't be more 'practical' ( read- used more!) Thanks
