You're not reading it in the context of the litany of BS writing on the un
Leica like hard or harsh look the aspherics gave when they came out a dozen
years ago.
I simply had the 16x20's printed on Ilford double weight fiber paper to
prove it wrong.
Leica has been on a winning streak with their progression of their lens
design. They don't miss much. Its not likely that a bunch of guys buying and
selling stuff on gear lists are going to point out the determent of their
ways to them.
