it is probably one the better rangefinder cameras ever made, i have a
couple of these including the limited edition one with the 50 1.2!
lens.  plus all the lenses are very very nice sharp, well made,
contrasty,...

21/35 dual
28 2.8
35/2
50/2.0
50/1.2
90/2.8

at least on par with the M system if not better. there were some noise
at the beginning about the m lenses not working but most people who
actually own and used the camera had not problem
