It's a REAL rare classic you have to drive a purple Saab to own one. Ah to Asph it on a bagel! It's too darn big and Cosina has shown us with way with their very compact 2.5 75 which i'm sure sold like hotcakes to the hotcake eating suckers (sorry) i don't like the looks of the thing and I've seen some 8x10's which looked chalky but who knows. All i know is I'm not into the Leica biz to not Leica what's in front of my Leica. With exceptions. And that's not one of them. Let Leica take on Cosina and make more use of those intrusive 75 framelines which otherwise for 99.999999% of everybody gets in the way of your 50mm composing other then showing what they'd probably crop it too anyway . Actuary they do show the digital equivalent if its 1.5 so if that's what you are shooting with your other camera; Digital; then you know what you are getting with your Nikon/Canon 50 since it's acting like a 75. A 75 not being a lens Nikon/Canon makes exactly they make 85's a fave of mine but is the beginning and ending of soooo many zoooooms. I can dig.it. While zooming. Who needs expensive sneakers?
