I was a little bit hasty when I wrote that it is the 1:4.5/80-200 lens I have seen. It is instead the 75-200 lens, but it is also a Minolta construction which came after the 80-200 lens, and I don't expect that their optical prestanda differs so much. I didn't know that the new 1:4/80-200 is made by Kyocera, interesting. Is it the same lens that is made for Zeiss? My brother in law just ordered one for his Contax so it would be most interesting to test it, and then decide whether to buy the Leica equivalent or not. I don't think I will buy the Minolta construction unless the shop owner is willing to sell it very cheap. Thanks again, /Stefan
