The 80mm Summilux R is a great lens, but a handful to focus correctly at f1.4, and it takes experience to know where the area of sharp focus is going to fall onto film. Back to M and R lens similarities, I understand there is another very similar "cousin" in the 50mm Summicrons, this according to Erwin, as I am an R--ficionado. Uh, devoutly R--ligious? PS: This will reveal a pRefeRence, but the real way to "reveal Leica lens capabilities" is to lock the mirror up! \8-) Enjoy the light. Greg Bicket
