The exception is the new 50 ASPH which has a design partly based on a retro focus rig. Could be quite interesting as the design is similar to the 35 ASPH. Just a WAG, but could Leica be creating a series of lenses that will work quite well in a digital domain?

So for a specific lens FL is there a point of Iris size and nodal placement where this is no longer an issue? ie, are ALL F2 50mm Lneses equally bad? ( Put in your own brand, FL and Max F stop here... it does not matter...).... Are the specs on a given FL about the same, regardless of brand name? This is now getting really interesting.......there is a lot to learn.....and a lot more to understand.....
