I have no basis of comparison with the 19mm other than your already cited costs. I think you can even find the Canon lens cheaper than $1500 especially since Canon's offering rebates at least through the end of the year. I do use it all the time and am looking forward to buying the 28-70mm L 2.8. For that matter, there are a couple Leica M lenses I wouldn't mind owning (on topic now)so if anyone wants to list me as a beneficiary in their will contact Mr. Small to work out the details. Carl S.
