The difference is dramatic. Yet this is not what Erwin writes and we don't visibly see the flair tests but these line pairs makes me wish Leica had instead come out with conservative slower designs which would be much easier to design tack sharp results from. While keeping the price point closer to what is being aimed at I'm sure. Much lower. This looks like pudding. Looking at this Leica seems to have taken a full step down. But again when you read it that's not what he says in the text. Why I don't know I'm not there. I just know what I think I see on my monitor. The difference between black & white. To get full effect of this post try looking at it with Garamond premier pro 18 point. The "&"s really stand out nicely. Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
