As part of my (failed) "Leica Challenge", I have two photos of the same scene taken with a DR Summicron and a 50 Summilux, both at f2.8. The out of focus areas of the pictures differ significantly, and can easily be observed, even on a web page. I will try to scan them as soon as possible, and put them on a web page somewhere. I'll be back with an URL when it's done. Dan C.
