BD or whoever.. what is the DOF at 27 inches for a 75 at F2 ?

Ditto the 75 at F1.4 at its closest distance, which is 0.75 meters ( current
Leica Spec) or   ( 750 mm /  2.54mm /in = 29.5 inches) .....?

First it is only 2 inches.... 10% or so.. not much difference there,, and
the DOF is nothing anyway...

The extra $1000 would buy a lot of film ......or a 50/1.4 Classic
lens......or a 90 AA ( Used) .. or.... you get the idea....

The only
argument I can think of in favor of the new chron is that it focuses
down to about 27 inches. But I'd rather have 1.4. And that 75 Summilux
is a really gorgeous lens.
