" WHO CARES?" ;-) ;-) My usual answer for this kind of query? :-) I think anyone making a judgment on your question without the identical equipment you describe to actually do some physical testing and blow-ups. At least 13X20 or larger? Anything offered without some type of visual printed test along those lines? Their offerings, I imagine? Should be taken with a large helping of salt! No? Other wise just take camera in hand with the never ending beautiful Noctilux and go merrily along clicking to your hearts content! :-) Damn that's so easy! :-) Pictures look great? Smile and carry on! All testing questions answered! cheers, Dr. ted ;-) ;-)
