[Leica] IMG: ISO1600 Distagon test

[John McMaster]

I did not find the SWC/M and 50mm too close, you may find a 60mm too close to an 80mm so go for the 100mm and 180mm ;-)

I still might not get the 60 Distagon. First of all, I still need to get a
body :-) Second, I already have a SWC/M and 60mm may be "too close"? Not
sure. Certainly, it might be pointless to get both a 80 and a 60,
especially the budget thing.
