[Leica] WTB: 28mm Ultron

[gregj_lorenzo at hotmail.com (Greg Lorenzo)]

Jeff,
 
I've never owned a CV 28. I did buy the new Leica 28/2.8 lens however. I 
liked the compact size. It reminded me of my early (1983) Leica 35 Summicron 
lens. I was not overly delighted with the build quality for $1,800 and my 
Zeiss 25/2.8 lens was better optically, cheaper and just as well built.
 
Regards,
 
Greg
