Popular Photography (and other magazines of its ilk such as Road and
Track) will frequently mention that some negative characteristic of a
camera long out of production is "well known," but that "well known"
negative characteristic was never mentioned in their magazine while that
well-advertised product was manufactured.

Pop Photo's description of the pre-asph Summilux 35mm was so-so, but
their own test charts showed it equal to the F/2 Zeiss lens for the
Contax, which they raved over. And the Summilux has an extra stop.
