No, you were just unlucky being assigned that Leica 50. The best 50mm lens in the world is the Viltrox 50 Air, and I'm not kidding. For under $200, you get a standard prime that makes all competitors look ordinary, or worse.
better than the Leica? the Leica Summicron APO SL? also better than the Voigtlander APO Z? and you know this how? because that's a bold claim. i'm not saying the lens isn't stellar but let's not resort to hyperbole without data and/or images to back such claim.
i quickly looked it up and it doesn't even have a floating element design, which means it will have some compromises near MFD or at near infinity, which the Leica APO does not.
that i'm going to have to see this for myself.
