No you did NOT explain that. What you did was STATE that. It is an inaccurate statement. If you explained that, you would have given some background as to WHY, but you have failed to do so, and have been shown to be mistaken. > For what it is worth, even at 40 lp/mm, few Leica lenses preserve > more than 50% > modulation or so at this frequency for more than a few millimetres off the > optical axis.

Provide the exact source of this claim. I didn't say it was wrong, just back it up with some reality, not just your belief. What about Zeiss lenses for Contax 35mm SLRs? Some of them have better MTFs than comparable Leica lenses?
