Would be great to compare all 3 but its a bit surprising that you invalidate the 28 Lux comparisons but push so hard on the Thypoch comparisons.
Fred's comparisons are great. I will definitely mention them in my VM 28mm 1.5 review to advise people not to buy the Leica lens. Unlike they want to use one of my affiliate links, in that case: by all means, go for it!
Its just very sad for me that people are so blind trying not to see the differences and looking for excuse after excuse and most of these excuses start with "but the Leica Summilux".
And if you followed what I wrote about the Thypoch you might have noticed there is a lot I truly hate about it.
But it still corrects CA better than the VM, has better off center sharpness and way way less field curvature. And also a better T and f/stop than the VM.
Being able to point out good and bad aspects of something without caring who made it when and where is called being objective.
And in all the scenes I compared the bokeh rendering of the six 28mm lenses the VM ranks worst for me in every single one.
So if the VM and the Leica perform very similar here - which I truly believe after Fred's comparisons - this might not be a great argument for either of them.
