I find this COMPLETELY discouraging and so typical of Leica. I loved the tri
Elmar feel and was hoping for exactly that. But NOOOOOO, we have to go with the
28-100 macro zoom - another consumer-space sellout.

I mean they mess around with the digital R8 back - sigh - and when they have a
chance to get it RIGHT we get this zoom.

Geesh!
