[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Have any LUGer ever found a 40/2 CL or 90/4 CL lens that would not focus accurately on an M ?? I never have. If I recall correctly, there was an article several years ago debunking this myth -- it might have been in the Viewfinder. Yes, I know the official Leica story -- but is it accurate ?? Some people, myself included, suspect that Leica emphasized a CL lens incompatibility problem that seems to practically never happen, in order to keep CL lens sales from reducing sales figures of the then current 35/2 Summicron and 90/2.8 Tele-Elmarit. amazingly, the story is still working because too many people believe what they read, instead of going out and testing it for themselves!!
