Erwin Puts is not too enthusiastic about the R Elmarit F2.8/24mm compared to other Leica lens.

Kevin,

That's fine; don't lend him yours if you decide to buy one.

I loved the one I used for years, but then I'm not picky, and am more inclined to enjoy the coverage of the lens, the angle of view, which is what I was after, than the fine details such as contrast in the corners, etc.

It is true confession time: I tend to look at the entire picture, as a whole, and not at it as the sum of its parts, A + B + C, etc. I either "get it" or I don't. Your mileage may vary.

I replaced the 24mm with a 19mm because of the crop factor of my R9/ DMR. It too is a delight, and I have no idea what Puts says about it.

All the best,

Bill
