I was considering this, but instead I swapped it out to a photographer for other gear, and bought an Omega Grey Side of the Moon wristwatch. I'm still waiting for another photographer to test my Leica X-U underwater camera, under water. In the meantime, waiting to see what Leica will introduce next.

Leica is continuing to develop and release truly excellent photographic tools. The M240, M246 Monochrom, S007, Q, and now the SL are all phenomenal.

Hi David, thanks for the report. For what number of lines per mm are S lenses being calculated/produced? Thanks!
