Subject: [Leica] What a cheap lens can do

The lens is shown here.

I have a 50mm 1.8  AFD on my camera most the time which I bought new for
$99.99 in Portland Oregon 8/1/2003.
I do shoot it wide open as often as not

And it makes a credible image.
I'd love it if I could put my Summicron 50 0r 40 or Noctilux on my D700 but
I cant. So I gotta shoot with what I got.
As the lens is relatively slow it really cost a lot less to make in the
first place. But is a bit of a legendary phenomenon. And there is a newer
version out the G lens.
