In fairness, under most circumstances, f/4 is not so bad.? Most non-pro 
zooms today are ~ f/3.5 or slower, and even pro zooms are only one stop 
faster.? Leica users tend to think of f/4 as glacial but that's because 
we're comparing to f/2, f/1.4 or even faster lenses.

I have a friend who uses the Tri-Elmar almost exclusively with his and his 
fianc?e's M8s. ?He would whip out his Noctilux and 35mm Summilux-ASPH when 
the ?darkness arrives, but for most of the travel photography he does, he's 
like F4 and BE THERE.
