Are there any good resources that are simplistic enough for a dullard like me to learn how to read an MTF? Yes, I understand that MTF's are somewhat speculative in nature, but it'd still be nice to understand..

Thanks!

You want simplistic?

The closer to the top of the chart the better!
The closer together the groups of lines are, the better.
The further to the right the lines stay high, the better the image is at the outer edges.
