Hmm. I don\'t see the relevancy of showing all these test charts and MTF\'s of ultra expensive RANGEFINDER LENSES when the OP is shopping for an SLR lens. Plenty of great 35mm SLR lenses for landscape uses! Geez.
You don\'t?
The 35 Lux illustrated example was a response to Kent\'s question about field curvature. It\'s general in nature and is in no way limited to that particular lens. And the reason why I picked that particular lens is because those images are from an old post I made a couple of months ago in the Leica thread.
The other test charts are for the 35/2 ZE and 35/1.4 ZE, both SLR lenses. The Biogon (which by the way costs the same as a 35/2 ZE and less than the 35/1.4 ZE) MTFs are provided as an example of what I consider to be an excellent landscape lens. It serves to illustrate the \'issues\' I have with the other lenses.
