In how many lens lineups is the 28 or any wide angle lens the sharpest on the list? I think none! Usually they sharpest is a normal or a short tele. I'd assume all these years that those were the optics the most capable and easiest to make the sharpest. Wide angles have been great, the 38 Biogon, Super Angulons and Leicas of course but as sharp as their sharpest normals to short teles? No i don't' think so and they also suffer from a lot less contrast i think too. The specs on a great wide angle would make the specs on an OK normal. I'd like to know what Leica did to make a 28 of all focal lengths the sharpest on their lens lineup. Are the MTF charts available? (not that i know how to read them) That's a hard one to swallow.
