The 28/2.8 E46 was the first Leica M lens that I bought new. I was
shocked by how well it performed. In fact, that lens convinced me to get
rid of all my "vintage" Leica M lenses and replace them with new. 

I wish that I hadn't sold all of my older lenses. I'm trying to get a
more retro look and that's hard to do with all the newer (digital)
equipment. Images look too clean, for lack of a better description. 

The 28/2.8 E46 might soon be considered vintage. :-)
