I thought you were gonna show pictures, Richard! These charts mean  
nothing to me. Intellectually, I can read up on what they mean, but I  
fail to see how to translate it into actual picture taking experience.  
The latter, however, does tell me that the Leica lenses are superior,  
period. I have no personal experience with the 50mm Summarit, but the  
35mm version is superb for the price.

Cheers,
Nathan
