The 30-90mm is a lens I hear about from some Leica S shooters as one that works great as an all-arounder and is good for travel, being about the same size as its fixed focal length siblings.

This example confirms the main weakness with the 30-90mm (seen also in the Rushing Water series and Mossy Boulders in Pescadero Creek series), and ought to be instructive to every prospective user of the Leica 30-90mm.
