Subject: [Leica] Ricoh 28mm lens for M6

UK Amateur Photographer magazine dated 22 August, 1998 has a test report 
by its editor on the Ricoh GR1 compact camera which says inter alia: "The
28mm F2.8 GR lens is one of the best wideangle lenses for the 35mm format
ever produced. That it's stuck on a compact does not make it inferior, just
unnoticed."  And also: "...earlier this year Ricoh released the GR1's lens
as a separate unit in Leica M bayonet fitting."
