Subject: [Leica] R zoom lens...

Have any LUG members bought and used the 80-200 mm VARIO-ELMAR-R f/4
zoom lens yet? If so, I would appreciate your viewpoints, for after
using fixed focal range lenses with my R4 and R7 at dog, car, and other
shows, I've missed wanted shots because I had to spend time changing
lenses to either rid the frame of excessive surrounding objects or
enable tele capture of specific details. One of my concerns with the VE
f/4 is the maximum aperture of f/4, especially with a concomitant loss
of 2 aperture settings (down to f/8) with the R-extender. In advance,
thank you...much appreciated!
