Just my 2 cnts. > > Chris Saganich First why the decision to go with vintage Leica glass in stead of more recent? I'd think those sensibilities would influence and I'd think put off the acquiring of the CV's. (Cosina Voigtländer). The vintage Leica glass known for great bokeh and plenty of character (imperfections). ... The VC's many of which known for stinky bokeh and sterile character. I've got my eye and the CV 12mm. Better than the Leica 12mm If the 75 2.5 looked better and had better specs I'd think about maybe getting that more. But now come to think of it the new Leica 90 F4 collapsible takes that one out of the running as well for me at least. I don't know if you're like me but every once in a blue moon I go down to my darkroom and mix up a set of 20x24 trays. That's when I'm not wondering what the images would be looking like if I'd shelled out for the best Leica glass. The grain within the grain.
