On page 32? Zeiss doesn't make aspherical lenes do they? I'm made darkroom fiber 16x20's with my Leica M glass most of them are ASPH's there is no problem with bokeh and no problem with highlights and no problem with a "hard look". This is a long time LUG myth. And I'm afraid its pure baloney. Leica is a quality lens company. They're not about to latch up to some tricky techniques to raise the money on the glass and give funny in any way results. They are not stupid. They can see a "hard Look" or textured highlights before they come out with the lens. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
