It appears that if there are only a few spots, the only thing affected is the price. Mine makes very nice images -- sharp enough without being clinical, and no bokeh or flare issues that I've noticed. Get one with the original metal lens hood, which is a beast to find separately. This lens has a nice small form factor that I like a lot -- the CV 28/1.9 (which I also have) and the Summicron (which I don't) are ungainly monsters by comparison. I should say that I have only used it on my CLE so I don't know anything about how it works on a Leica M (for example, whether there are focus cam issues or what framelines it activates etc.) But it's a good picture taker in any event, and I suspect it would work fine on any M mount camera. Peter, who will be in New Haven during Memorial Day weekend, for his daughter's commencement. Otherwise, at home in SF, CA. --- Kenneth Frazier <kennybod@mac.com> wrote: > > On May 22, 2007, at 7:49 AM, Philip Forrest wrote: > > > l. Good luck. > > Thanks, Phil.
