I really doubt the 19mm 2.8 could be significantly improved in any case and justify itself as being significantly better without the price becoming even high by Leica standards. The 35mm 1.4 is a superb lens, and second only to the 35 Summilux ASPH. I've owned two of them and loved them. But it does vignette. We shall see. They can't update all their lenses at once. They've been working over the M system because some of those lenses became more dated than the R compatriots. The R system's time will come. The thing is, settle down and get used to one system! :-) - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch "...nostalgia ain't what it used to be." ...unknown
