>>The T* 38mm Biogon is a great lens, but it was a bit much for me to
carry about on a daily basis and I found I used the 15mm Heliar (itself
a "can't go wrong" lens) more often.<<

That's a good point. Can any MF lens really be considered Leica-like? Even
my Mamiya 6 had lenses purported to be Leica-like in terms of image quality.
I always felt such comparisons were like saying a 2-ton flatbed can move
cargo like a Ford Ranger. It was obvious which I'd rather drive all the
time?
