It's a great street lens in the Garry Winogrand style. Best used at arm's
length and about 5.6 or so. Its design is, to me, evidence of Leica's design
genius.

I'd love one if it could focus as close as my 50mm Smmicron.I'm not 
looking for macro work, just being able to use a wide angle as it should 
be used.
