I didn't like it for the longest time. I still find it a very poor
performer wide open...but I think that my old ME Super had a focus
accuracy problem. Once I picked up my LX and put that 28 on it, the
sharpness of the images that lens produced seemed to increase. Poking
around on the net, I read that focus accuracy problems (like the ground
glass being slightly out of position) would display themselves most
obviously with the use of wide angle lenses, leading me to blame my
beloved ol' ME Super.
The impression is, of course, subjective, and a myriad of other factors
could be involved. I'd put together a somewhat controlled test to check
this out, but that ME Super has sadly been retired to the old camera
shelf, seeing as how its advance system has been totally shot from
extensive use. I was gonna repair it, but then I got an LX and a great
deal on another ME Super in better shape than mine ever was...
