Leica does not replace their lenses with newer versions so quickly
that requires one to shoot at a lower ISO
have Image Stabilization
there was simply no substitute for that maximum aperture
Wide-open apertures are a bit soft
barrel distortion at all in real-world shots
the lens is a little heavy for the short stature
lens does not accept screw-in filters
The aperture ring is quite thin
