To me, I'm not sure if Leica do better for people. Based on the single
center focus point it is too slow to operate. One has to focus then frame
again if the object is not at the center. I usually do framing then focus on
the ground glass. Any movement could affect the focus point. To me "focus
and frame" does not work for shallow DOF portrait.

Macro and tele lenses are important elements for a complete photo system,
missing either one won't work for me.
