<< The 
 reason many Leicas lenses (some of the non ASPH Summiluxes) would make 
 poor enlarging lenses is that they have extremely high curvature of 
 field which is incidently is one of the reasons cited as to why they 
 don't do well in Popular Photography tests.  >>

Fortunately, from my perspective, the newer Leica lenses seem to be addressing
the curvature of field issue.
