The lens is lovely, a perfect package on the M8. Yes, it is one stop slower than the Elmarit, but I really like the form factor. Only had time to shoot some boring test images today, but tomorrow afternoon we are closing the department at 1 pm and going to spend the rest of the day eating tapas in the city (25 people), so that should provide better opportunities to test it. I am NOT into photographing test charts or newspapers pinned to a wall. I really think Leica has some winners among the new lenses that combine the usual excellence with a reasonable (by Leica standards) price point.
