[Leica] Re: Lens price vs. quality

[tomschofield at comcast.net (Tom Schofield)]

Can you believe people are complaining that $1500 for medium speed,  
fixed focal length lenses, of normal to slight wide to short tele,  
non-asph, non-IF, non-af, non-automatic diaphragm, are too cheap to  
be any good?????

Personally, I'm comparing to how I just bought a well-loved 80mm  
Summilux for $800 (it could use a CLA, though).
