That¹s a valuable point, but I did my tests with flash exposures around
1/1000s, which should minimize the influence of the shutter. I think one
contributing factor is the simpler lens design for rangefinder lenses. SLR
lenses are more complicated to design and make.

In any event, Mamiya lenses are among the best I¹ve ever seen in MF.
