OK Yoshihiko, I'll accept this explanation from you and Dan (mostly because I don't know any better myself and trust others on this). But I do wonder why I have only noticed it with the 43 and the 77. At some point, I would also like to see some sort of illustration showing what spherical aberration looks like, if possible. I've become intrigued by it and way too interested in it for my own good.
I'm still considering buying an MZ-S, mainly so I can keep this 77 because I like it so much. As I sell more stuff and actually get the money, that decision might become even more difficult.
