It is a first-class instrument. I can't think of any objection. I don't like mine because it is f/2.8 -- too slow for me. I hardly ever use it, because most of my shooting is indoors or at night. It's not *that* much shorter than the Summicron, and not that much cheaper. I'm saving up for the 50mm Summilux. f/1.4 suits me just fine. A U S T I N .
