Restatement....

Comparison of the 18 Super Duper Elmar to the Wide Angle Tri Elmar @ 18mm.

Forget the finder, it has little to do with the optical photographic
path......!

I already know the WATE beats the 15mm Voigtlander and the 21mm ASPH Elmar
is better than the WATE.  I have no evaluation for 18mm

BTW, the WATE finder has more than a little distortion........it is truly
lousy.  Leica should be embarrassed......

No M8 here.   Maybe a M9 when it happens......
