RE: More 15/3.5 samples - seeking opinions

[Alan Chan]

I think I will do one last test the next few days, along with FA*24/2 this 
time and see how they compared. I have always done tests the same way 
(tripod, self-timer, magnifier etc, just able the way I shoot) so there is 
nothing else I could do. Scanning is always done with Minolta Scan Elite so 
all scans are comparable. What surprises me is the lack of detail (almost 
none) with all close-up pictures. I think even FA*24/2 does much better than 
that, but we'll see.

In my honest opinion, unless you shoot with a similar lens like
a 17mm fish or 20mm under exact same conditions using a tripod
there is no way to tell. Don't rush to send it back if you don't
have to. Compare to some other fine lenses and post BOTH for
us it see and compare. It could be your technique or scanner
or even camera, (try different bodies).
