You are quite right. Leica's own literature talks about such practices. And I think your audio metaphor is quite correct, but it's more because maybe the test numbers are really meaningless for many of the testers. They are testing the wrong things. That's how Leica equipment continually does poorly at Pop Photo, compared to much cheaper equipment. It's the test that's flawed, not the equipment it's testing. =========== Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR Assassins do it from behind.
