Mmm weird but I agree the lens seems pretty OK. Leica probably know how to make those lens with quality (as far as quality can be met with such lenses) but I dunno why I have a strange feeling when looking at lenses like that from Leica.
Compact zooms are one thing. Reflex lenses is something else. Probably my brain just choking on Leica + extreme zoom range.
