[Leica] Re: Cosina lenses

[Godfrey DiGiorgi <ramarren@bayarea.net>]

Frankly, I don't give much credence to what any magazine has to say about 
lens performance. (My apologies Mike and others.) If I'm looking for a 
lens, I read them ... yes. Then I go look at the lens, borrow one if 
possible and test it myself. Or buy it and test it myself. If I like it, 
it's good. If I don't, I sell it or return it.

With Leica lenses, I can be sure that most of the time, they're going to 
be up to snuff. I was not so sure about the Heliar 15 so I bought it with 
a satisfaction guarantee. My first roll of film with it convinced me that 
it was a very fine lens.
