Excellent point....Nor, I guess, would someone looking at two photos side by
side, of different subjects, comment on the sharpness of the lenses they
were shot with, rather than on the photos themselves, UNLESS one lens was a
coke bottle bottom...and MTF graphs aside, that doesn't seem to be the case
with the Cosinas. I know it's certainly not the case with the Nokton, which
produces terrific results...

Why?  Will it change your photographs?  Make them better or worse.

Some people may want to have a gallery show filled with MTF charts for
their lenses, but I would bet that no-one would visit.
