<< You must have been working those days with Barnim A. Schulze, the man from
 the BAS lens tests. Any comments on his testing methods, their consistency
 over time and/ or on his bias towards Leica and Zeiss? The BAS  tests are
 often mentioned in this forum, I think that an "inside" opinion on them
 could be interesting.

To tell it in brief: BAS is the king of lens testing in europe, forget about
the rest. However - he had the problem to be forced to show differences where
no diferrences are. The difference between any major brand prime lens and a
Leica lens nowadays is pretty small. I know his lens test system a littel bit
and ist seems very reasonable to me.
