I have found over the years that several Pentax lenses, especially some of the screw mounts will out resolve most of my Leica M and R lenses as you have pointed out. However B/W prints and tranparency shadow deatil and color cast have always been substantially better with the Leica equipment. I remember years ago when Leitz challenged resolving power as the major lens attribute with the MTF measure. Many of us did not buy the argument - - we were still looking at high contrast copy film test targets! Of course things are different now and the overall "look" of the photo has become the main criterion for quality judgments. Thanks for your work and report. Bob Figlio
