The 28-50-90 mm lenses got excellent reviews in the current Swedish "Foto". In short, they stated: -As good as Leica lenses. I think the 28 mm would be an interesting alternative for Leica users, btw the lens shade looks very much like the 12504 type. The cost is almost twice the Cosina-Voiglander prices though (but still less than 1/2 Leica price...)
