It's really a shame that there is not accepted means of evaluating
lenses using a meaningful barometer. If someone would get a 36x24mm 20
megapixel rangefinder, stick each of the Leica, Voightlander, Rollei,
and Konica M lenses on it, shoot at a decent target at each f-stop,
then at least we could have a gut level feeling for resolution,
contrast, distortion, etc. Isn't there one rich camera buff out there
who will do that for us? Please ? ;-)
