I hope LUG people like Henning and Tom A are in that group. I'd be pleased to see what DP Review come up with, too. Herr Puts, I'm not so sure about. Every new article seems to have more odd methodology and /or Canon content? My own guess at this stage is that the wide angles ought to be most likely to demonstrate any improvements to be had from the bit code driven algorithms.

The 35 Summilux non Asph, and the 90 Thin Tele-Elmarit are not on the list, so I will not be getting them done.
