If nothing else, the G2 is living proof that it is possible to produce
extremely high quality optics - Leica quality optics - at a fraction of the
cost at which Leica produces and sells them. If Zeiss/Kyocera can produce a
21 2.8 autofocus lens - with a viewfinder - that is at least as good as the
current Leica 21 - without a viewfinder - that can sell in the US for under
$1000, perhaps its time Leica woke up and smelled the economic coffee...
