You DON’T Need That $6,000 Lens!

Comparing the Leica R 19mm Elmarit V1 against a Minolta Rokkor MDii 20mm f/2.8 and a Zeiss Milvus ZF.2 18mm f/2.8. Plus my philosophy behind “perfectly matched“ sets of lenses. (p.s. I already know what all my new SIGMA fp lovers are thinking, but we did this test WAY before I owned the fp. We’ll get it in the next one!)
