I have read that most if not all the Leica Vario lens perform better than their primes at certain wider angle settings. Since I've been shooting with my APO-Summicron-R 90mm f/2 ASPH for well over 10 years now; I'm now looking for something similar in performance at wider angles such as around 35mm. I'd get a 35mm prime for my R9, but I have read the Vario lenses around those wider settings perform better. The 21-35 might seem right since it's the wider angles I'm looking for, but I've been reading the 35-70 f/4 has better performance. So I'm currently considering the Vario R 35-70 f/4 ROM for it's price and performance. Was there any improvements with the 35-70 f/4 ROM during it's production? If so; what serial numbers should I look for? Also, I know the 35-70 f/4 is slower than the others, so I'm guessing that's why the cost seems to be more reasonable? With it's dimmer view; I'm sure it will also be harder to view the image in the viewfinder when compared to what I'm used to with my 90mm f/2. But at it's price point and performance; I don't think there's much to loose quality wise considering. In the samples below, the 28-90 looks like it performs better than the 21-35 examples. And the 35-70 4.0 examples seem to be on par (or exceed the 28-90 examples.) 21-35 https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/260701-leica-dmr-image-thread/page-10?do=findComment&comment=3088897 21-35 https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/260701-leica-dmr-image-thread/page-6?do=findComment&comment=3058189 28-90 (A couple distant shots of planes on the ground) https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/260701-leica-dmr-image-thread/page-4?do=findComment&comment=3056693 35-70 4.0 https://www.flickr.com/groups/1191210@N22/pool/with/36334761352/ I know I'm answering my own question here, but I'd like to hear from others their thoughts of the various Vario lens. Thanks!

Hello Community, I am planing to buy a Leica R4 with a 35-70 mm f/3.5 for 260€ (252USD). First of all, is that a good deal? I am very new to the Leica world, and is the 35-70mm a good lens? The second thing is, do you guys know any common Problems of the Leica R4, so I can check the Leica before buying it? That would be awsome Greetings from Germany Florian
