Extra points go to the 28-70 if it also has good macro capability. >Even with the high quality and extreme sharpness of Leica lens, does >anyone believe that they can compare favorably with the image qualities >produced by medium format lens such as those from Hasselblad? > The Hasselblad is a very good camera, though maybe not the first thing I think of when it comes to snapshots. In theory, beyond a certain enlargement size, it will surpass the 35mm cameras, but does it suit your style of shooting?
