[Leica] MS-Sonnetar 50mm f/1.1 mini-review

[Piers Hemy]

Couldn't agree more with all your points, Nathan, but in fairness Dante anticipated and eloquently responded to your reaction in his first paragraph, did he not? Though something tells me that you are neither a 276hp Camry driver, nor an XJS V12 hardtop driver :-)

But (just as with the TR7), forcing hardtops onto cars that were always intended to be convertibles was madness. No, not madness, I mean to say a very laudable obedience to US motor vehicle safety standards of the time.

I admire your photography, your writing and the amount of work you put into this review, but as for the lens itself, as I was reading it, I could not help thinking, “why bother”?

I suppose you either get it or you don’t…

Cheers,
Nathan
