I find it plenty sharp and contrasty at all apertures and distances. The photo below and the next 3 in the gallery were taken with the new 28 Asph Elmarit. I did compare it to the Konica Hexanon 28 and it blew the Hexanon away. I have only used the new lens with my M8, have not had a chance to try it on my M6TTL yet. I got it back in July of last year and really like the lens. Leica Users' Gallery » Gene's Misc.
