I have been a diehard user older Leica lenses, but I gotta tell you - the new lenses may not be built like the old ones in terms of mount quality, but the performance is state of the art in all areas. You may like the image from an older lens, but understand what it really is. It is not state of the art imaging even if it is pretty to some folks. Kindly, Bob Figlio
