I've got both, traded the Leica 70-210 pump for the Angi 70 x 3, never
regretted it.
They were also available in other mounts, but scarcely sold I guess as
only Leica owners would then consider the price tag ...
Both wonderful.
there's also an older version made for Leica when they thought zoom
lenses were not a patch on their specs .
I bet N and C and , Leica themselves have disproved the claim since.
Images as soon as I can
