I always enjoy reading things like the leica users group, or more correctly
the Lieic Fondlers group. Todays 75mm aspheric diuretic radioactive
super-wizagon is the very best lens ever made. Ever. Can never be equalled.
Then, announced is the newer version with sub-nano coating and even more
special glass, and the previous version is now very very sub-par. Lenses
that were designed and produced twenty or thirty years ago are regarded as
just something for a museum of no longer desirable photo oddities.
I'm thinking that my old NIkkors, Zeiss lenses for the hasselblad, and my
substantial collection of Zuikos are still pretty damn good!

Not at all bad for one designed and built in 2011 I'd say.
I should give my long rested 1960s era 50mm / f1.5 Summarit a re-run. You
give much hope for the merits of yesteryear's glass !
BTW, nice photo !
