Subject: [Leica] Zeiss sweetspot

A friend was showing me an old Zeiss Ikonnata he has and pointed out how the 
lens F stop scale is marked for its "sweetspot."

He said he had heard that Zeiss used to pre-test their lenses and mark the 
spot where the lens performed best.

Has anyone else heard of this?

BTW, it looked like a great camera. It looked like the 120 camera to have 
insomuch that it is like a Leica, that is, small compact, unlike most medium 
format cameras.
