Not the particular lens itself which I'm not sure if I've ever met fact to face but it does say Leica on it and I don't think it was made by Sigma. I know David is into using Leica R glass on his Nikon D700 full frame with an adaptor on the body. And what glass could you get the most miles out of? And the issue was to me involving how purist need we be. Just stick to primes? The intention would seem to me to be not be to turn the camrea into an M. But an R. And there's zooms in that R system. And zooming is quite a DSLR thing to do. I think someone could be not all fond of zooms. But make an exception with wide and ultra wide zooms once they checked it out. They make what's in front of you much more controllable than what might seem obvious. Much more so than a normal or telephoto zoom - which just zooms. A wide zoom seems to do more than zoom it seems to make what's in front of you turn into pliable silly putty. It plasticizes your shot. Mark William Rabiner
