why is it that the zooms from leica all have variable maximum

have fixed maximum apertures?  i assume there's an optical quality 
issue or something.

just curious is all.


Look again.  Both Nikon and Canon do the same thing.  Leica also has many 
fixed max aperture zooms just as the other two.  Although not in the same 
quantity.
