Popular Photography changed the SQF system recently and scores from past
tests are not comparable with the new system - I don't remember when the 35
f2 was tested, but I think that the scores from it and the 31 LTD are on
two different scales. The new system was meant to be more stringent.

Popular Photography never says that an advertiser's lenses are bad.
Still, the writer seemed especially effusive in praising the 31. I go by
the numbers in their MTF tests. According to these numbers, the lens is
consistently sharp at

There's no article, just reviews of the three prime lenses (including
the 31 limited), plus a review of a zoom. There's also a review of a
Voigtlander camera, which comes with the reviewed Voigtlander lens. In
the camera review they do say that the Voigtlander lens may be the best
prime they have
Are you guys saying that there's no article inside about the best

Yeah, I'd been turning over in my mind the possibility of getting a fast
wide angle prime. Now the 31 limited has become the goal. Troubl

I just happened to pause at a newsstand long enough to note that:
(1) The cover of the new Popular Photography features something like "we
