I can't help but to utter these words which are true heresies for the Leicaphiles ... :p :dance:
The physical look and feel of the 21mm Biogon ZM matches or exceeds that of my Elmarit 24mm Asph. The aperture & focus rings are buttery smooth or should I say Leica smooth. And, the aperture ring has no play whatsoever (very impressive).
The clicks of the aperture ring are smoother than any of my Leica lenses --- the sound of the clicks are more damped/subtle and, to my ears, sleeker.
The coatings on the front element looked authentically real, just like my other Hasselblad T* lenses.
In short, the mechanical and physical feel of this ZM lens is pretty Teutonic and up to par.
In the next week or so, I'll run it thru a few rolls and see its pace optically.
