I second what David has said. The R80-200 is an excellent lens at, what is
for Leica, an amazingly reasonable price. I want to add that the 28-70 is
also an excellent performer. I prefer it to the 35-70 because of the one
extra wide angle focal length. In real life photo applications the 28-70 is
sharp, has excellent color rendition, and is very convenient to use. In
addition, the 28-70 is very undervalued. Best of luck on your purchases.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to answer my questions. You also confirmed my choice of two leica zooms, one of which is the 80-200 you mention below.
Hi Charles!
I can assure you, the 80~200/f4 Vario Elmar is the sharpest lens I've ever owned - by any maker! Zoom lenses are not supposed to be this good (and most aren't!). Make by Kyocera, in Japan, to a Leica design, it looks and feels like the best that Leica has ever produced in Canada or Germany.
Buy one! You won't regret it! :)
Cheers!
