This is Interesting

Behold the 7 grand f2 normal lens:

Leica has upgraded their normal Summicron into a celestial price range.  It heralds a big shift for them. For the first time sensors are now better than Leica glass.  At present the only sensor Leica has that is worthy of this lens is the one on the black and white Leica, itself a bargain at 8K.  However it won't be long until color Leicas sport sensors that are better than Lieca glass.  Thus a new frontier in spending opens ahead as new apochromats are developed with resolution comparable to the sensors.  Curiously this puts the Leica rangefinder at the point it began at in the 1920s that is, the most advanced small camera anywhere.  Of course, in the digital age this distinction is only apt to last for a few days as others catch the scent and rush to produce competitive equipment.

Guess I will stick with Tri-X :-)
