Looking forward to try your lens. Because the Leica reissue did not impress me properly. The curvature of the field made it unusable at open aperture, focusing was only possible at the centre point. Hopefully in your version it will be possible .
Please contact me when the product is released.
Is there a place to reserve or sign up for this lens ?
Would like to be notified for when I could pre order please 🙏
