I'd advise looking at the work for Leica M shooters. That should tell it all. If you want your stuff to look like theirs then at least you are on the right track by not using stuff which might not be able to really do that anywhere near as well. My first serious 35mm body was a Nikon f2 which had what I call "true edges". I has noticeably happy about the feature about twice in the 20 years I used the camera. Otherwise a shot is seldom about exactly where you put an edge in my opinion or the way I've ever worked or seen the way just about anybody else I've seen works. I've never shot film with any lens on my Leica M system and gone: "HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!! THAT'S NOT WHERE I PUT MY EDGES!!!! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!"
