Hello,

I'd be curious to know how the Rokkor (Minolta CLE) 28mm compares...

I have just acquired one that has had the "spots" repaired by Minolta and it 
seems to be a nice little lens.

Does anyone have any experience with this lens?  Are there any tests posted 
anywhere that compares it to Leica glass?

(and yeah, I know it's not a Leica, and this is a Leica list... but if I can 
wade through 50 threads on WWII tanks, I don't think it'll kill us if I ask 
about a lens designed for Leica cameras...)   ;-)

Thanks and let me know.

Jeff M
