Subject: [Leica] WA light fall off....

Super Angulon lens design is worse than the Biogon design for light fall
off......  But both suffer.    I am not at the level to expolain the
problems attendent with the design and fall off.... Those that do are
welcome to explain.  However, the SA lenses, regardless of when made, for
whom made, and what maximum  F stop, all suffer.  The current thinking is to
use a circularly graduated ND filter to even this issue out... In the old
days, it was considered OK... it forces the eye to come to the center of the
image.... similar to what happens when you Burn In the edges of a print.
