"I was ready to sell this lens almost immediately after I got it." I remember and am so glad you didn't!
"I feel like Leica could’ve corrected for this" They couldn't when this was in development, starting over 20 years ago now, but they can now. Look at the 35MM f1/2 Noctilux as a guide on technology, size, and technical perfection coming to v4.
Great review and insights as always. As you know, I'm a 0.95 evangelist.
I’ve owned this lens for nine years but it’s time for me to let it go. The arms and shoulders just can’t take the strain anymore. In its place I’m going to spend some quality time this year with the Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2.

Great write up, Gajan. Love that banana bike frame.
Some reeeally great picture. I in particular love the portrait with the green foreground. Amazing
