According to some other LUGgers, these and the 75mm Summilux-M are among the last of the current Leica glass that is hand-computed. For a flavor of the 80, check out the images below; all are handheld and were taken last week: http://members.directvinternet.com/zeissler/images/Scan562.jpg R8/Summilux 80mm, f/1.4@1/60th, Portra 160 NC @ EV 100 http://members.directvinternet.com/zeissler/images/Scan563.jpg R8/Summilux 80mm, f/1.4@1/250th, Portra 160 NC @ EV 100, bounce with SF 20 http://members.directvinternet.com/zeissler/images/Scan569.jpg R8/Summilux 80mm, f/1.4@1/250th, Portra 160 NC @ EV 100, bounce with SF 20 http://members.directvinternet.com/zeissler/images/Scan577.jpg R8/Summilux 80mm, f/1.4@1/250th, Portra 160 NC @ EV 100, bounce with SF 20 Regards, /Mitch _________________________________________ Mitch Zeissler E-mail: zeissler@directvinternet.com > -----Original Message----- > Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 4:03 PM > Subject: [Leica] ALERT- Actual Leica R lens question > > In the Leica M series, I have seen certain lens with what I'd call a certain > signature look.
