 Leica's new full-frame, M-series wide-angle is a 37mm equivalent when mounted on the M8 digital rangefinder. It's the most compact of all M-series lenses -- small enough, in fact, that with the lenshood removed, it blocks only a little bit of the active finder area. This $1,495 28mm's most unusual feature is the new "6-bit code" engraved into the bayonet flange. It joins the much-admired Leica 28mm f/2 Summicron, which we called "unsurpassed" in our July 2002 test report. Read the full test here
