" ... Our eyes have cones and rods similar to how these lenses work. ... The ability to swap to a zoomed lens (that other cameras have) is well and good but neither of those lenses is the quality (nor usually the resolution) of the combination of two. ... In any case, the balance of the tradeoff between cropping a superior image and using the secondary lens of other cameras disappears when you're in wide angle mode. ... "

" ... oh and the leica dual lense means faster sharper pictures. ... "

" ... The dual lens makes for great wide aperture shots with a blurred background. ... "

" ... * Camera, daylight shots - yes, I am focusing on camera very late in the review and this is something that's important to a lot of people but please continue reading to understand this better. ... "
