That's odd, because here: http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/mseries/testm/M2-90.html ... he says this ... "The Summilux-M 1,4/75 at full aperture is better than the 1,4/80 at full aperture. Higher contrast give the extremely fine detail more clarity and sharper edges. Astigmatism is visible which softens the finest possible texture details. At f/2,0 the image improves a lot and at f/2,8 is outstanding if not superb. Here we see a stop advantage compared with the 1,4/80." Dan
