Does anyone have any experience with or know anything about Leica's
latest, lower-priced (Ha) R zooms? Leica press releases and reviews are
obviously very complimentary. How do they compare to the current 28-70,
35-70 and 70-210? The 80-200 has been out for a while. The 35-70 f4 is
quite new. The lenses are made in Japan but by who? does anyone know? I
find the 70-180 is too heavy in both pounds and dollars to suit
me.Thanks.
