This is the fourth Leica lens that I have owned, and one that's the most expensive so far. My copy is the original, non-APO, two CAM version, but it looks like new. This beast weighs at 1.4kg and is very difficult to hand hold. In good light, with high shutter speed, this lens can be hand held without much trouble. I found this lens is sharper at infinity then at close distance.
