Interesting.  i remember several years ago everyone was praising the 28 
Chron.  I wonder what has changed?

If I do street documentary, I would get a 28mm (again) for sure. I did most
of my "Occupy" series with the 35 or 50mm, and I definitely would have
loved a 28mm.

Fortunately, the 28mm Cron is the unloved Leica-child, so one can get it
for around $2500 now. A bargain compares to the Nocti :-)
