Yes, I have that test too. And as far as I'm concerned, BAS is the best tester around. But the test is for the old Aspheric lens. Not the new one. It was done before the new one was introduced not so long ago. But if you look at all the Leica literature, there are two lenses and the main distinction is one aspheric surface and newer glass in the new one. One a limited production lens that was limited to 2,000 units and sold for $4,500 (or in that area). The newer one is around $2,600 and rising. Regards, Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR
