Has anyone tried a Leica M Tri-Elmar MATE (28-35-50) on a Leica T and compared it to the standard 18-56 T lens? The MATE has a constant F4 vs. the variable F3.5 - 5.6 on the 18-56. In theory, it should outperform the standard 18-56. Does it? Anyone care to comment on relative image quality and on relative ease of focusing? I have found a a new 18-56 at a great price. This "kit" lens is optimized for the T, but of course, is, a slower lens throughout most of its range. I have no idea if the standard T lens would out perform the legendary MATE in terms of ease of use or optics on the T. Has anyone used both? I've been experimenting with the MATE and indoors I have found it (using the Visoflex viewfinder) much less easy to focus than on an M body, so am curious about how it compares, both in terms of usability and image quality to the T 18-56. I've found the T 23 f2 a superb lens indoors.
