[Leica] ***SPAM*** Re: The decisive moment..... NOT!! TED & al.

[philippe.amard]

Alice have had (and still have some in working order) pana and oly 4/3  
lenses  on 2006-2007-2008-2009 bodies - the common focal range zooms  
14ish-50ish we shared proved the leica approved design was better  
(barrel, vignetting and sharpness) - now, I also had a WONDERFUL 7-14  
zoom and a mighty 50-200 both from Oly and I miss their optical  
qualities to this day (nikon but more recently fuji).

DK about micro lenses, at all.
