Subject: [Leica] Tri-Elmar tested by ColorFoto

The German magazine Colorfoto tested the Leica Tri-Elmar-M 35-50-28/4.0 
in its 11/98 issue.
The lens gets excellent optical results at all focal settings.

Most sharpness and contrast seem to be at 28mm (with a small margin), but 
there is clearly some barrel distorsion at that setting in contrast to 35 
and 50mm. At 28 and 35mm there is some vignetting.

The mechanical finish is very precise. No complaints were formulated 
about finish and handling.

The lens gets 82.6 out of 100 in total, which is the maximum 5 stars.
