[Leica] Leica 135mm Apo Telyt M

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

IMHO, image quality matters to the extent it is discernible on a print of a
size you want to show/exhibit, whatever, at normal viewing distances.
Beyond that it means nothing. If you are not exhibiting/selling prints of a
size equal to a 300% magnification on the monitor, taking normal viewing
distances into account, because these are definitely not going to be viewed
from 12-15 inches away, why bother?

Cheers
