Armando, I haven't used the 28-70 vario elmar before, but from what I've gathered it is a good lens but not spectacular like the other ROM zoom lenses in Leica's lineup. If one had the 21-35 / 35-70 / 80-200 ROM lenses, you would be able to travel with a very versatile 3 lens kit that covers from 21-200; add a 2x apo multiplier and that goes up to 400.

Is it a good "glass"?? Cheers Armando Armando PAVIA PL FERRARI &Co. Srl Via S.
