Re: [OM] New Voigtlander lens for OM

[JOHN SCHEUERER]

John,
Yeah I've been reading the reviews since the L came out a couple or better 
years back. They're very affordable for as good as they are.Since I can't 
justify [for myself that is] the cost of a Leica,
the Voigtlander system looks like the way to go and the 35/1.7 Ultron 
aspherical with it.
           John
