I'm a bit surprised by this comment about the Nikon AF F3.5/4 35-70. For
the money it is an excellent lens but my (admitedly homemade) resolution
tests of this lens near the 35mm range (where I use it the most) show
excellent resolution of 50+lp/mm at F11 and greater but this falls off to
35lp/mm or less at 5.6 and below. I expect his improves at 50mm focal
length. Does someone have measurements of Sumarit? (Understood that
resolution is only one measure of lens quality :-) Comparison of other
qualities of these lenses such as contrast and color are welcome.)

Footnote: The best lens I've ever used is a Nikon AF f3.5/4 35-70mm zoom.
It
meets the standard set by my 50mm 1.5 Summarit and then goes ahead and does
the same at other focal lengths. Whether it will do that as long as the
Summarit has is an unanswered question. Carbonate plastic is one thing;
brass
is another. From what I've seen, Leica doesn't make its own zoom lenses;
but
things may have changed.
