Rene,

Last week I posted a short summary of a report that was carried in a British magazine. They claim the lens to be very good. Well known Leica user Tom Abrahmsson, speaking on Steve Gandy's site says that from f/4.0, the lens is on the same level as the new Leica 28mm Aspheric Summicron. He also mentions the 1400 Dollar difference in price which would let you buy the V'lander lens and a good "user" M6 for the price of the Leica lens alone.

You can see what the British magazine said from my previous post at:
