Martin,
First choice would be the 60 Elmarit
Second choice would be the latest 50 Summilux
Third choice would be the latest 28 Elmarit
Fourth choice is a tie with either the latest version of the 35
Summicron or the last version of the 35 Elmarit

Subject: [Leica] R-lens, Normal or Wide, with Best Definition to the
edges
What is the generally recognized R lens, normal or wide, which has the
best
definition all the way to the edges and corners?
I am photographing in daylight (hence I don't need f/2),
I am photographing mostly architecture and scenes (hence not close
up at
all, more likely 5 meters out)
I want to have the best definition all over the negative, so am
willing
to sacrifice a bit in the center for quality at the edges.
I am less concerned with matters of distortion than of contrast and
resolution.
I use the current 2.8 R19mm, and the 28mm PC Super Angulon. Could I do
better? I know that in the end a tripod and high shutter speed would be
the
best improvement, but let us pay attention here to the lens itself. I
use
Kodachrome, mostly.
Thank you,
Martin
