Thanks Peter , i think leica was really thinking here although i did say they need a line of lenses like this a year ago . I am sure the did NOT listen to me. LOL
But seriously what this does is get people in the door with coded ready to go lenses that perform very well at a very good Leica prices. 1500 is not that bad when you look at the rest of the line. The tough question is how they perform wide open. Obviously and we all know this is were Lux and Crons preform there best. So looking forward to trying these out. Personally i would think they will sell like hot cakes. ( famous american saying)
Now they need to get busy on some serious fast wide angles and some extreme wide angles. Like a 12mm and 15mm
