[Leica] New ZM Tessar

[red735i at earthlink.net (Frank Filippone)]

Is this the Summarit Killer?

At that price, I am not giving up my ( 30 year old ?) Tele-Elmarit and run
out to purchase.....  But it is getting closer.....

BTW, Carl  ( may I call you Carl?  We Americans are so informal...)) :  The
Leica cameras have frame lines of 28, 35, 50, 75, 90, and 135 mm.  There is
no  85mm frame lines.  If you are going to introduce a lens to fit a camera,
do it right.  Make the FL fit the available viewfinder options.  It is a
matter of marketing, not engineering......  You blew it.

We're all getting older :-)
The street price will be lower; I'd expect around $750 in low VAT zones like
the USA or Switzerland.
