Subject: [Leica] Rollei 40/2.8 Sonnar [was Stephen Gandy took down the Epson R-D1 info!]

I recently acquired the Sonnar on eB*y, but haven't
had a chance to really put it through its paces, yet. 
I can say that the build quality is nice, like the CV
50/3.5 Heliar.

I've never seen a review of the lens. I think Mehdad
may have one, but 
haven't seen anything shot with it. Rollei should have
ditched the RF 
idea 
and just made some good Zeiss lenses in M mount.
