I just don't like lenses that slow. The Elmar C is sharp, contrasty, relatively flare free, and by Leica standards inexpensive. But at F4, I can't bring it indoors too often.

I confess that I really don't get along with slow lenses. <snip> - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
