Someone mentioned how this zoom replaces all those lenses including a Macro.
And of course they don't as the focal length primes involved are smaller,
lighter, faster and "sharper" and the macro is a flat field lens optimized for
close in use.
But people think so.
And Leica would perhaps rather make it's money and reputation with these
individual prime classic lenses.
