Never used a Leica lens. It is said that Leica lenses are optimaized to have the best perforemance at the largest aperture---seems not true looking at the MTF chart.
That "legend" exists for many lenses... and usually it is just that, a legend.

Nice to see the first Leica test and quite impressive results, too. I guess Leica's reputation is (at least partly) justifiable after all...
Partly, yes. Less convincing lenses coming soon

Great to see something totally out of left field. One suggestion though: can you remove the Price/Performance position from the Leica tests as utterly irrelevant?
Well, the P/P rating will be more relevant (and receive higher ratings) once we get to 3rd party lenses
-- Markus
Nice lens, it seems it's only real fault is the RSAs which changes the focus point quite significantly, enough to slightly miss-focus at F5.6 maybe?

Ah, the Leica world, where Zeiss is the Sigma.
Hey, there's also Voigtlander!
