[Leica] Big SL Lens ( DIameter) explanation

[Frank Filippone]

Marketing gibberish

Translation:  We did not try to make it smaller, we tried to make it better,
therefore the size didn't matter.

The rack and pinion type of focusing that the picture shows is atypical of
AF lenses... most use rotary motors.

But it says all this was done to, "to preserve the compact dimensions of the
lenses"...
