do you know how the nikkor compares for actual mfd?

ai 28 f/2 mfd = .3 metres
the ais version focusses to
ais 28 f/2 mfd = .25 meters

I just received my ai 28 f/2 and preliminary tests look favorable even wide open.
I'm afraid digi has made me a sharpness freak.

Coming from Zeiss, I was a bit skeptical towards the Leica type of OOF rendering thinking that it was difficult to get interesting bokeh shots. Now however I think the initial results were uninspiring simply because winter colors (everything uniformly white) really suck for that kind of shots. Now as spring has finally come, I'm starting to get interesting stuff from the Leica M's:

Got a set of tubes and attached it to my Nikkor 28/2 AI. The Blur from it is pretty remarkable...
