Subject: Re: [Leica] Vignetting of Summicron M 2/28mm ASPH

It's only the finest lens I have ever owned.  Vignetting is invisible from 
f4.5 on.  Flare is well controlled as is distortion.  If someone is getting 
poor results from this lens it is either REALLY broken, or they have other 
issues.  The original post noted heaving vignetting on one side of the 
frame.  This sounds like a shutter problem, not a lens problem.

For those interested in the Summicron 28:Buy it and be amazed at how good a 
lens can be.

Best wishes
