I'm not a math genius, but from my understanding, the Hassy 903 was
designed to not be an SLR because it then doesn't require retro focus on
the back end, which is usually what makes a wide angle so big.
Rangefinders in general don't have th requirement, and the rear element
and the filmplane is so close, thus the lenses are generally smaller.
Give this to be the case, shouldn't the Leica lenses beat pretty much
all the other lenses, as it's technically easier to make a lens that's
sharp for an RF vs an SLR?
It would seem that way to me; and why the Mamiya 7 lenses are tack
sharp, as is the Fuji Rangefinders, as is the Hassy 903 and the Leicas etc..
Or am I really off here?? I don't think I am..
