[Leica] The 40/2.0 Was Sharp, But...

["Buzz Hausner" <buzz.hausner@verizon.net>]

...perhaps a smidgen of hyperbole here?  The 40/2.0 was a very fine and
sharp lens, but sharper than the 50 Summicron or the 135 Tele-Elmar?
That said, I greatly regret selling my forty, although I have not for a
moment missed the CL that went with it.  Don't get me started on the
troubles with the CL!

You are complaining about a lens which was never produced for
sale.  The 40mm f2 was probably the sharpest non-aspheric lens
that Leitz ever sold.  The f2.8 was a non-starter.
