Unfair..... it is 10% or less of the price of a film Leica, and like 5% the
price of a M8.

In fact, it is 1/3 the price of any USED Leica lens produced since the 70's.

Don't expect to get gold from lead.

Hi Greg,
If you're used to a Leica, 3 things might bother you: enormous lens  
distortion at the wide end, limited dynamic range sensor, and higher  
ISOs suck.
I know, because I have one.
