Erwin-
I would say that for those that understand your intellect and highly
analytical mind- you are basically "preaching to the choir..." as we say
here in the south. You cannot sway any further the faithful!
Some, like me tend to get lost in the myriad of technical analyses that you
make, and somehow seem to grasp at those things we think we understand! So
if we long for a lens with good resolving power- our minds are focused on
that portion of your post. If some of us are confused about bokeh.... we
tend to pass over it. By the way, did you discuss bokeh? I  must have missed
it! :o)
Erwin, your posts are valuable on many levels, and are a good starting point
for making considered decisions about Leica lenses- I just wish people would
not lambaste you for doing what comes natural to you!
Perhaps if Hubert would proofread some of your posts and paraphrase them
into 4th grade English, I'd be able to understand 'em! You just too good!
