We had a very long, extremely heated (thanks to a couple of non-Leica types) discussion on Compuserve about these lenses that ran for about three months this spring. Those lense are crap. They are made by some nobody manufacturer, and Adorama is counting on people thinking they will be good because they fit on a Leica. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are not worth owning, from what the people who said they had seen them working were saying. You'd be better spending an extra $400 or so and getting a used 21. You only buy a lens like that once (or twice) in a lifetime. Do it right. ========================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier
