It does not bear the Leica badge with full honour. " and if you read the full review, you go away with an understanding that the lens is a step above the SA. The Super Angulon has many champions, and as he points out, the Elmarit gives you more speed and the ability to use it on a metered camera. So, that doesn't really make it a dog. The other day, you liked the pictures from my early SA, and that was an f4 model. They all have their quirks; some paint pretty pictures and some less, it is all in how you use them. -- Regards, Sonny http://sonc.com/look/ Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
