The initial review that seems to indicate that the SL does not do as well with the M wide angles as the M240 is also troublesome. I'm curious why. I suspect evolutionary designs mostly based on the M will be of more interest to me, personally, than this large camera apparently aimed mostly at people who want the large zoom lenses. Actually, the advances Zeiss is making in the wide angle department may make the thinner M sensor cover-glass and superior, more symmetrical lenses moot points. That new Zeiss 21mm is one inch longer than the Leica 21 f/2.8, but the Zeiss vignetting at f/2.8 is as good as the Leica at f/8. If Leica isn't careful it's going to be a case of too little too late. The technology is moving fast.
