It's a very touchy lens, sometimes the results are very good and other times I've triple checked to be sure I _really_ had an SMCP lens mounted, the results were that bad! It seems to hate backlit and high contrast when wide open or near wide open. As I wrote to Mark, I've had the goofy thing apart 3 times and see absolutely nothing wrong inside. Clean, clear and solid. Zero oil film. I think you may be right about digital being the difference. I'll go shoot some film with it and see how it compares, it's been quite a while since I've used it that way.
