[Leica] New Zeiss 18/4 Lens in M Mount

[gregj.lorenzo at shaw.ca (GREG LORENZO)]

Hi Don,

If I get a lens half as good as my Zeiss 25/2.8 lens I'll be delighted. The 
Zeiss 21/4.5 looks to be a smaller lens but unfortunately Zeiss doesn't make 
it in LTM, so I'll be keeping my VC 21/4.

This will be my 3rd Zeiss ZM lens, and yes, the build quality is just behind 
Leica.

Greg
