Can't be, Richard; the M8 sensor eliminates the fall-off in image quality at 
the far edge that even Leitz/Leica lenses cannot avoid, in effect the near 
edge becomes the far edge, neh? My old DR Summicron now equals the contrast 
and resolution of the new 50/1,4 SummiluxASPH     ;-)

Gawd, wish I'd realized last April that the M9 was so close and thought of 
this before I got my M8.2. I suppose if I hadn't been unsubscribed, I'd have 
known. Is anyone on the list expert enough in medical transplant technology 
and markets to tell me how much my left kidney is worth?   ;-)
