Amazing I forgot about the collapsible f4 macro.
And I would use this lens before I got the ZM.

When things say "macro" on them it normal adds some weight and bulk to the
optical package. I wonder if that's the case here..


The collapsible f4 macro perfect for the M9 full frame which I'm sure will
appear before we know it.

And the compact 75 Summicron perfect for the present M8 1.33 crop.
