	Well, as someone who uses both Zeiss and Leitz optics, I found
that very interesting.  It sounds to me as though the Planar-T that you
tested was very similar in performance to the most recent non-ASPH 35
Summicron.  Is that correct? Given the similarities in design, it would
not be surprising.

	On another note, I would be curious to learn how the 90/2.8
Sonnar-T and the 90/2.8 Elmarit-M compare, if you have ever or will ever
make such a comparison.
