It was put out here or other lists that it was made at a lower standard. I'd call that baloney. It doest say Summarit on it does it . That's the only "bargain" lower standard Leica ever made. If Leica was going to do a thing like that it would certainly be in their website and not be come kind of inside secret for photo list people.
