But if you can afford it, and want to use it, what's the problem?
None at all. But the preponderance of at-home shots taken with this lens seems to indicate that most owners are scared to take the thing out in public. Hence, it's less-than-useful for its intended purpose.
...the simple truth is is unless you are comfortable using it, and are not too worried about the resale/replacement value, you can't really afford it. I know I can't
Me neither. Everyone has their comfort point, and this lens exceeds mine (in both cost and bulk.) Too many shelf-queens in the Leica catalog, so their "perfection" becomes a moot point.
