[Leica] New 28mm Elmarit M Lens

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Jim,

I doubt you would see vignetting with any of the Leica WA lenses on  
the M8 given the 1.33X factor. Don't know about the Noctolux wide  
open but expect even that will be significantly reduced. When you get  
the M8 try a 28mm, any 28mm, and see what you get. You'll only see  
vignetting shooting at the clear sky, even with a film M.
