Hi,

Does anyone know where on the web I can find MTF charts for the new series of Voigtlander lenses for the Leica Screw Mount?

Thanks.

If you haven't read it already, here's Erwin Puts' qualitative test report (no MTF charts) on the Voigtlander screw-mount lenses: http://www.imx.nl /photosite/japan/indexj.html.

I am not sure about the web, but you should have no problem finding a magazine in any decent library...the July 2000 issue of "Popular Photography". It has a detailed review of the lenses and uses MTF data to generate its own charts. You can read the LP / MM for any enlargement / aperture combination for the 35mm f/2.5 and f/1.7 lenses, the 50mm f/1.5 and the 75mm f/2.5.

The overall assessment was that these lenses are very good, both optically and mechanically.
