Or just not get "it" but just the 15 to put on my M6's. And I don't have a 28 so I'd look into that. Are these going to be at a higher price point than their Voigtl?nder named lenses? That's what I would do. In real life though I'm not sure if that was the case. That Voigtl?nder stuff was cheaper than Zeiss stuff. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
