Mine must have come from Mars as the only problem is, in rather difficult focusing situations, prefocusing with the rear AF knob -not more than 10%-. The G lenses are slower and not so well built as Leica but excellent. I, still, think that a Contax G2 bag -15-21-28-45-90- is the smallest and better travelling photographic bag you can afford. I've found the Summicron 28 ASPH to be better than G Biogon, the 21 ASPH to be, not so much, better than G 21 and, unfortunately, not a 24 in G system nor a 135. No 15mm on the Leica field. Not to speak of Noctilux. I'm, as always, speaking of material that I own and use. So Leica system is, let's say clearly, photographically more efficient, but if cost is involved... But "utterly miserable"... Felix - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
