Read it and weep cheap zoom users! http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jGvgFCCoM4zyCw8S9D31npLW6RLAD938N4JO0 http://tinyurl.com/4ocvdt The other % he mentions is 11. 11% more light gathering does the f.95 get that the measly f1 does not. To me that sounds somehow like A LOT!! But he says it doesn't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. He says Stefan Daniel says its going to cost ten big ones and there is a google map of NY. He should know Stefan's in NJ. Leica NY is Leica NJ as of 7 or 11 years ago. Tony Soprano now is in charge of waste disposal. Less waste waste. I think it was made .95 because if they came out with another f1 with no back focus issues and whatever the other problem was people who had the old version would be storming the gates with torches looking for blood or their money back. So this is a different lens. To me they could have left it at f1 I'd not have gone looking for a torch. Flashlight maybe. In the UK that's the same thing. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner
