To me this seems pretty exciting due to Angenieux's reputation. There seems to be three such lenses floating around in some regularity. The 28mm f3.5 The 35mm f2.5 The 90mm f2.5 Has anyone used one of these Angenieux classics (Exakta mount)? Do they have outstanding contrast - like older Leica lenses, or what? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, James Burris P.S. I've had a CL and a 40mm Summicron for a couple months now and I must report that the camera is fabulous!! If you can live without super-speed lenses this is the camera to get - in my opinion. The lens performs very similarly to my older style 35 summicron - R. FYI Has anyone heard whether the new 135 from Leica will be able to be mounted on the CL? (with a viewfinder of course).
