Pros:Leica quality, construction and materials, maf dial, colors, bokeh
Cons:f2.8 on minimum distance, price
Opinion:Needless to say, the quality of the materials and construction are at the highest level (including the lampshade). Completely metal, the mechanisms and the focus dial are perfect. Excellent scrolling and precision, from Swiss watch. I must say that sealing in manual from more pleasure than using the af although the latter is really very fast and responsive. The lens has its own character and the qualities are many. Sharpness already from f2 and gorgeous bokeh on much of the frame with a very negligible distortion. From f2.8 the sharpness and incisiveness increase considerably and from f4 the level rises again, then to f5.6... f8 in my opinion reaches its maximum, although its peculiarity is to be quite soft and natural and never gritty and too "artifact" in details and colors. This is what I think makes it fascinating and recognizable. Cons: you have to get used to the fact that at the slightest distance of maf the lens switches to f2.8 even if set to f2 (definitely a choice by Leica towards greater sharpness and richness of details), a detail that could irritate many. In fact, it is annoying not to be able to decide on the maximum opening at close range and that the lens is the decision! And lastly, the price, in my opinion disproportionate even if the optics is of excellent quality (and not to shout) but you know, with Leica you do not buy only an object, you buy a brand that has become a myth and you become part of a piece of history of photography.
