The sound of that mouthful seems to put Leica and Zeiss laying back in the dust!?! I had to look up the lens and have still not found a review on it. But has the ring of the latest in optical excellence from JSK Joseph Schneider Kreuznach a which is second to none but who's at the very top is any ones guess. Plenty of votes to to a company in Solms or Wetzlar. What this optic has as an advantage other than cutting edge modern Schneider digital design (designed for digital) is that it was designed for medium format digital photography. Bigger real estate - I mean acreage. The knock your socks off results are plainly visible in the urls below. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Bob Adler <rgacpa at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:28:48 -0800 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] IMG: Pt.
