Or the new 'Leica Pocket Book 7th Edition' from Hove Books Ltd (Authors Erwin Puts and Dennis Laney). <http://www.hovebooks.com/new_for_photokina_leica.htm> Quoted from Hove website: Most lenses now have in addition to usual statistics a write up on the actual performance, details what performance we can expect when using each lens and in addition MTF graphs showing the actual performance, in some cases as with the Vario lenses graphs at differing focal lengths or apertures. There is a description of how to use these graphs to see the benefits of each lens. We would add an MTF graph of the early lenses comes as a surprise!
