It's how the lens images. And that being said, I find the camera pretty interesting, but the fact that it stops at ISO 400 is really bad. How is that Leica-like? For average shooters, but with an f/2 lens, that is much more limited compared to a 50 or 35 Summilux, though not bad in comparison to a 90 Elmarit, but not quite the equal of the Summicron. And then there's the issue of depth of field. This will have much greater depth of field than a 28-90 zoom on a regular 35mm camera. Which in many cases is good. But on the other hand sometimes we want a shallow depth of field. And rather not do it in Photoshop.
