>>It's made by Kyocera for Leica. And its performance is superb.

Interesting. I didn't know it was made by Kyocera.  Physically I wonder how
it compares to the Zeiss 80-200/4, a lens I've been considering. Could it
be that the glass,  formulation, and construction are very similar and that
only the multi-coating differs significantly. Trade secrets so we'll
probably never know. But if Kyocera is making both, it makes you wonder.
