My idea of this very same difference was that <crons> were just _sharper_
than <Elmarits>. I read somewhere that <Leica is racing against itself>, so
it may be just price diferences of lenses that display very similar
(superior) performance under very similar circumstances (depending on its
production year).
Am I right?
