One of my favorite lenses are in my Nikon stable, a 28~45mm Nikkor f4.5. Big slow, but sharp, particulaly from f5.6 down. Wide open its is very good, but only gets better.. I would imagine the Leica 28 to 70 to be very very good. The comments I read about Nikon's perpetual backorder problems, apparently are still with us....20 years later. When I was in my prime Nikon buying years, it go so I would ask the dealer, "So what is the backorder time on this lens?" I know it would be nearly suicidal for camera companies to crank out a bunch more than they think they could sell, and then be stuck with them. Can't really blame them. gck
