Re: More 15/3.5 samples - seeking opinions

[Paul Stenquist]

Hmmm, that last post of mine comes across as rude. I didn't intend  
that. But the internet pics look good to me. The only way I can tell  
for sure if a lens is delivering is by making a high race 12 x18 print  
or something close to that. from a scan of 72 meg or so at 24 bit.  As  
an alternative, I can get a fair idea when blowing a scan of that  
resolution to 100%. If there's moderate definition on a computer  
monitor at that kind of enlargement then the lens is probably doing  
quite well.

Seriously, it's impossible to say for sure based on 72 dpi internet  
images, but they look quite sharp and contrasty. But as I said, I'll  
be happy to take that turkey off  your hands. Perhaps you'll be  
happier with the new 14mm lens from Pentax. Or maybe a Canon.

Just before I return the lens, I would like too hear more opinions on  
these pictures. The first 5 were taken with Centuria Super 100, the  
rest were with Velvia 100F. My impression is that all 15mm pictures  
lack the "punch". Am I expecting too much for such 30yrs old design?
