Performance of de lenses film size versus sensor size

If the lens is designed to cover the area 24x35 mm., its performance in the smaller area of the sensor is better? Talking about MTFcurves... and effective distortion...

 

Is it a silly question? If it is....excuse me.

What I mean: The worse zones of the MTF of new Tri-Elmar vill be avoided using this lens with M8?

 

Thank you, Sean.

 

Bye, Francisco

"Full Frame" (24*36) occupies an image circle with a diameter of 43.27mm, radius 21.63mm. For the M8 (18*27) , the image circle diameter is 32.45mm, radius 16.22mm.

 

When you look at MTF graphs, any deterioration beyond 16.22mm will not appear in the image.

This was the answer I spected. In technical terms one must go carefully and when one buys a Leica lens one must do the same for not investing a lot of money in a disappointing purchase. Thank you Mark.

 

Thinking only of digital M8 the new TriElmar is then more attractive. The same for the new 28/2.8. Using them in analogic cameras could be a subsidiary profit, in spite of knowing that their quality always will be Leitz.

 

Best regards,

 

Francisco.
