They are all pretty good. The old Tak 75mm f/4.5 is prone to flare, but is very sharp, the new 75mm f/2.8 is most excellent, according to Aaron Reynolds (former list member from Ontario). I don't know about the 55mm lenses, the SMC 45mm f/4 is superb, though Rob Studdert didn't think it was as good as he would have liked. I don't recall what it was he didn't like. The 135 macro is excellent, as is the 150mm in either of it's emulations. The 165mm LS and 90mm LS are also both excellent lenses. The 200mm Tak isn't the greatest, the new SMC one is apparently very good indeed, as is the SMC 300mm f/4. William Robb
