Looking at the line pairs he is showing us the APO 75 and APO Asph 90 are
totally sharp looking and the Summitars look thrown way out of focus. The
difference is dramatic. Yet this is not what Erwin writes and we don't
visibly see the flair tests but these line pairs makes me wish Leica had
instead come out with conservative  slower designs which would be much
easier to design tack sharp results from. While keeping the price point
closer to what is being aimed at I'm sure. Much lower.

This looks like pudding.
Looking at this Leica seems to have taken a full step down. But again when
you read it that's not what he says in the text.  Why I don't know I'm not
there. I just know what I think I see on my monitor.
The difference between black & white.


To get full effect of this post try looking at it with Garamond premier pro
18 point.  The "&"s really stand out nicely.
