Have you actually compared negs. produced by the CV side by side with Leica negs? I do and have and I'm not nearly so confident that there's USD$1500 worth of "positive" error in favor of Leica. There's room to differ on this, of course, but I'm burning a lot of film with the 28/1.9 right now and it continues to impress me--and not just because it's comparatively a bargain.
