Hi Paul ... My own tests, such as they are, show the El Nikkor 50/2.8 to be sharper at wider apertures, and Ctein's tests confirm that. His samples tested best @4.0, I generally use mine at 5.6. Of course, YMMV.

I generally print at f11 with the 50/2.8 El Nikkor. For most of my > negatives, that yields an exposure time of around 30 seconds at 11 x14. -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~belinkoff/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
