See, that's what I've always thought -- very good lenses and exceptionally good lenses are hard to tell apart, especially in terms of sharpness, under normal shooting conditions. At one point, I bought an inexpensive Yashica body and mounted a Contax 50mm f1.4 on it, and shot with it for a few weeks, and really, I could not tell the difference between it and my SMC-M 50mm f1.4. I know that the Contax should probably be sharper under strict testing...but so what? I don't shoot test patterns. I ended up trading the Contax 50mm in on an LX. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
