Are there Leica lenses that are designed that way (clearly, ALL lenses are designed that way to some extent, so this is a relative claim). What I would want is a much improved corner performance at all apertures with a bearable sacrifice at the center. I use the 19 mm 2.8 and the PC 28mm. Does anyone know much about this. Why am I looking for such performance. Often I photograph a building, and then discover that some crucial detail I want is closer to the edge of the negative. I want to able to get good results out there. Also, in enlargements that are big,say 20x, people get close and can see if the edges are not so good.
