Do we care all that much when a negative is so large how "sharp" it is?
Wouldn't there be more important corrections for minimal magnification
increases of medium and large format compared to 35mm?

BTW, I suspect the Hasslebald 300 2.8 tele apo tessar is going to be an
awfully good lens.

And it's going to cost more than a whole Leica system is my bet.
