I've owned two of them, and they are second only to the 35 Summilux ASPH M lens in quality (which I currently own). Though it does have a bit of fall-off wide open, it's hardly noticeable and easily fixed in Photoshop in those conditions where you need f/1.4. That being said, it's certainly not the most capable system. Optical quality is without peer in SLRs. That includes Contax, which has some individual lenses that are better, but as an overall system, the Contax system is a shadow of the R system for comprehensive lens selection. I've owned some of those lenses. But in the end, they left me cold (blue cast compared to R lenses). On Tuesday, July 29, 2003, at 08:10 AM, bdcolen wrote: > "Most capable?" Where's the autofocus?
