<p>I don't own any Leica gear right now although I had a three lens Leica CL kit in my past. I have always enjoyed reading Erwin Puts. He always seemed to be an extreme authority on Leica but with an opinion all of his own. Honestly, I don't understand why Leica lenses cost so much. I guess the Leica mystic is so very compelling to many. Also, I never knew which Leica lenses were considered "the best". The "fastest" does not equate to the best in my opinion. With Leica into digital now, newer Leica lenses are arriving which further muddle the situation for me. The older Leica lenses created for film bodies have got to be different than the newer offerings for digital. So, which is the best and why? Lots of money to spend if a wrong lens choice is made. I think Lloyd Chambers makes extensive comparisons of the Leica lenses. I don't think Erwin Puts does that. I am not a leica fanboy but I do enjoy reading about lenses and lens comparisons and their history and use. The quest for the best is compelling history; both modern and ancient history. Happy shooting.</p>
