Subject: [Leica] Erwin on the new M-50/1.4 ASPH

I was away for the weekend and missed the latest Erwin review review 
until now. I just would like to add that this review of Erwin's reads 
like a real review: hardly any superlatives, some negative points and a 
cautious recommendation. He says he would buy one but admits that 
others may prefer Leica's other 50 offerings. I am impressed.

On the actual content of the review, I am excited to note he feels it 
has even better flare suppression than the Noctilux. Be still my heart! 
Bokeh looks to be similar to the 35/1.4 (sometimes smooth, sometimes 
harsh) which is OK by me. Oh well the proof will be in the portion of 
pudding allotted to me. I will let you know how my sample performs when 
the Leica gods deign to send my way the I have on order.
