Paul,

I find this comment very interesting. The focus on my 75 Summilux is much
stiffer than my 90 APO and I thought others had said the same. Maybe it
should go to Reinhold for a cleaning. Does anyone else find the focusing on
the 75 to be much stiffer than any other M lens?

Ken

It's a heavy bugger, and I find that a grip (either Leica's or Tom's) makes
a big difference to the handling.  The focus is silky smooth - even better
than my 90 APO.  The biggest thing to get used to after all this time
shooting a 50 is using the right frame lines.
