Hooray for Paul! What a bunch of negative two-faced hypocrits you lot are! Whatever Leica comes out with you'll jump in as soon as possible to criticize, but then you jump down GeeBee's throat for using something other than a Leica! Personally, I find the idea of a compact '90 with some close-focus ability quite attractive. I often leave my 90 Summicron at home 'cos it's too heavy for the small Leica outfit I prefer to carry, so this would fit neatly in my setup. It's a pity it's not an Elmarit, but I suppose that would have added too much weight. It would fit nicely with a Tri-Elmar as a complete vacation outfit to do almost anything, and I bet it's optically superb like the rest of Leica's glass. So stop criticizing and wait until you've tried it. After all, it's a niche in the market that the death of the visoflex created, and if it helps to keep Leica afloat we should all be applauding it!
