"Better", in these top-notch lenses (Zeiss and Leica) becomes very subjective, so it's the wrong word. I'll grant that. I was just getting at a guess that they will not be bargain lenses, but priced for the same market as Leica lenses (that is, there would be no motivation for them to undercut Leica price-wise since they are going for the same niche). People willing to pay 2000 Euros for a lens will probably pay 2100 if they think they're getting a better lens. Daniel On Sun, 3 Oct 2004, John Collier wrote: > Why are they "probably better"?
