Take a deep breath, Eddie - Maybe it's the lens you've been waiting for,
but unless one shoots nothing but rocks and trees, or other subjects in
daylight, a 3.5 to f 4 lens seems awfully slow...Especially when you
consider that even Sigma as produced a damn good 20 f 1.9 autofocus ASPH
lens...granted, the build is pretty junky, but then the price is $350!
Can't wait to see what this Leica beauty is going to cost...
