The performance from Zeiss is sloppy and just not good enough. (I would politely ask Lee to refrain from weighing in with all the marketing fluff, quoted advertorial hyperbole, and usual one-eyed bunkum .... it does your rep no good at all - no matter what sort of cutesy humour, and quasi-balanced multi-brand history it is wrapped up in .... not having a go at you Lee - just firing a good natured pre-emptive shot across your bowsplace!!!!!!!

Hi Chosun
As one purveyor of 'cutesy humour' to another purveyor of the same, allow me a couple of comments.
I have repeatedly said I haven't tried any production SFs yet and that still remains the case, so I have no relevant experience to bring to the table, and even if I had tried a unit or two, that wouldn't entitle me to extrapolate that to every SF that has entered the market.
Certainly, I weigh-in when I see hysteria and false logic being used.
But when Dennis calmed down and posted that he was simply advocating caution in the face of conflicting reports, I also posted that I agreed with this.
Some reports are glowing and some aren't. Some reports are definitely of concern and others definitely aren't.
As for the delays in the SF coming to market: what a screw-up! In seven months since the SF was launched the earth has travelled around 340 million miles, the earth’s population has grown by about 36 million, several models of mobile phone have become obsolete and Leica has introduced a new binocular that was freely available in the shops straight away. And SF is hardly flooding onto the market yet. I am afraid its the HT story all over again, and whether it is for different reasons or not, to the market the result is the same.
