Back in the 90s, when I first got into Leica, I occasionally tested lenses too, for example comparins the 35mm Summicron ASPH to the non-asph version I had, trying to decide whether the upgrade was worth it. But these days I really just go out and shoot. A lens may be good at taking picture of a fence or a newspaper pinned to a wall, but what is important to me is how it performs in real life, taking the kind of pictures I take. My PAW for week 50 is an example of that.
