At the very best, a photo seen full size on a monitor will have resolution no 
better than 1/16 that of a standard photograph.  For this reason, it is 
impossible to judge the quality of a lens by a photo viewed on a monitor.  I 
am always amused when people say that a photo on the web demonstrates how 
superior a Leica lens is.  The difference among a decent and superior lens 
simply is far beyond the resolution of a monitor.
