I have heard rumours that different lens families of Leica lenses (i.e. =
Elmarits or Summicrons, etc.) reflect differing aesthetic preferences =
(sharpness, colour saturation, contrast). Is this true? If it is, what =
is the exact philosophy behind this (what are those families purported =
characteristics)? Is there any documentation from Leica about this?=20
I know that there are differences; from experience I have learned that I =
like Elmarits better than others, I'm just not sure why......
