[Leica] IMGS: New and Old Lenses

[Mark Rabiner]

I notice on the 23mm f2 t lens:
Dimensions (DxL)     Approx. 2.5 x 1.5" (6.35 x 3.81 cm)
Weight     5.4 oz (153 g)

To me on a camera like the new Leica SL digital such a lens would make for
much more of a classic Leica like experience.  Compact, lightweight, low
key... Much more so than the bazooka its coming with now.
