Subject: [Leica] M lens 21mm F2.8 pre ASPH

Why, it was a 50mm (correct), f1.4 shot at ~f2.4. There is no connection
between the lens and body about what aperture is in use.

As I have said before, a "rather complete set of M glass" is worth rather
more than an M9 body so deserves to be used....

Well  in the year 2525 Leica will figure out how to get its inform into the
metadata accurately. I hope its before than that I can swing one. A body
that is. I have a rather complete set of M glass.
