Aram,
I located the discussion on the Leica forum. Check Ben Z comments he is the
only one who have actually used the 28-70mm

What was not satisfactory? The optical quality? The build? I've
seen a
picture of the 25079/2.8 and it is a whopper of a lens. Defeats my
purpose
of cutting back a bit on what I carry around. I have not doubt it is a
gem.
I rarely go over 100mm. I do have a 180/4 that sees the light of day
maybe once or twice a year and it performs quite well.
Thanks for the info.
Aram
