It's a beast. Built in framelines (0.72x finder) are 100 and 150mm (like 50 and 65mm in 24x36). My first pictures with the Tessar-type (Elmar) 100/3.5 came out with great "volume." I am planning to run some basic tests to see how the 100 and 180 stack up to 50 and 90mm M lenses. It's neat that someone did this, and flattering to Leica that it's so much like one of theirs. The best way to describe it is like my sister did - "Dante, it makes you look like a Photographer Ken doll - it's bigger than life to show detail." Rumor has it that a 670 version existed too.
