Yes. I shot some test shots using the two lenses and the comparison
is remarkable. Same camera, mounted on a tripod and fired via a
wireless remote, same film, same aperture, same scene within the same
minute while I changed lenses.
The 50mm shots have richer saturation, better contrast and are much
sharper than the 28-105. You don't need to use a loupe - just put the
4x6" prints side by side and eyeball them. Or scan the negs.
I was very depressed about this, as I'd just bought my 28-105. I
mean, I knew intellectually that a consumer lens is going to be
weaker than any prime, but the difference was startling.
