Doubt that it is officially stated by Leica. Probably just scuttlebutt that
gets thrown around as gospel. Kinda like the one that says that "Leica,
themselves, say that the 2.8/100 APO Macro is their sharpest lens". That one
I first heard from a buddy, then from the local Leica Rep, which is where I
suspect that my buddy heard it. At this point, however, I'm tempted to
believe that one!
BTW, Dan, I really enjoyed your web pages. Nice job!
