If it's one of these micky mouse changing aperture things as the focal length changes they might as well make it as pop corn prizes! If other lens manufactureres can produce fine 20-70 or 20-35's and maintain the same aperture speed, Leica should be able to do it and better!! But do keep us all in mind if you hear any further scuttle butt coming down the tube! :) Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
