Sorry, Roger, but you're wrong, wrong, wrong. I said it was a $500 lens. That much, and no more. I objected then, and object now, on the basis of all I have seen of the lens's products, to saying it is the most wonderful extreme wide-angle lens ever developed for the Leica. The 8/15 and 8/16 Hologon pictures I have seen certainly are far better products than are those from this "Skoparex" or whatever horror of a name they have given it. For $500, you get a $500 lens. No more, no less. Not bad for the price. But certainly not a world-beater. If that sounds like "dislike", well, Roger, I suspect you are putting new meanings to the term.
