i really doubt it will be much better than the ziess, after all ziess have
been making 18mm lens for a long time, but it seems outside pressure is
making leica move, the ziess 18 was a huge success with the leica owners,
super sharp, small and "affordable", never the less i am Happy they are
rolling out more m lenses. the performance of the lens i will wait and see,
i am hoping you all did not forget the m8 rollout where users discoverd the
acidental IR filters needed to use the camera, so from now on i let the
truth be told
