Thanks for putting together that set of tests, interesting indeed, confirms 
what we've heard here anecdotally. It goes to show that really the camera 
resolution is the quality limiting factor in the case of the primes and the 
zooms really don't get near the apparent quality of the primes until mid 
apertures. The overall contrast differences are is interesting though, not 
quite as predictable though the larger the maximum aperture generally the 
poorer the contrast. The aliasing effects are interesting at 35mm too.
