Pardon me, sir?  Have you never heard of the rather epic Canon RF lens of
that specification?  Do you know the name Bob Shell? or Peter Dechert?
Mind you, it's a lens I'm not thrilled with, but, still, it IS a lens for
the Leica, and those who use it argue that it works.  I disagree, but as my
father keeps lecturing me, I'm a contrary cuss.  That's okay:  the women in
my life simply call the cops.

You amateurs DO occasionally rile me, a trifle.
