[Leica] Leica Monochrome

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Frank that is true of course. That really applies to the entire system and
good technique is always a critical component (and my M9 is regularly on a
good tripod).
A little lost in the announcement and subsequent disussion thus far is that
this lens will be an additional high end option (like the new Noctilux) not
a replacement for the current Summicron. That means a range of four 50mm
available (in theory!)

Cheers,
Geoff
