My Nikon 28 way back was a 2.8. And even with the Nikon could i have shot at F2 if i had the F2? I'm sure I'd feel MUCH more comfortable stopping down just to make sure my groundglass was not playing tricks on me. But the Leica is going to focus VERY precisely at F2 with a 28 and it's going to be sharp as a tack. I call that fast glass. And hand holdable at a 15th perhaps. Fast glass. A low light shooting piece of glass. When i always thought Leica I thought "Summicron." but I'm moving up from the 35 Summicron Asph to the Summilux Asph. What you could not shoot with that lens i don't know! Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
