Who designed and who manufactured this lens? This lens is designed by Leica and manufctured by Kyocera (Makes Contax lenses). This is supposed to be a great lens. The two aspheric elements probably play a big part in teh better image quality and lower cost (fewer lens elements needed to make corrections if there are aspheric elements). ======= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch
