She's a fine approach if you want to imitate MF lenses, but she's a - somehow - unhappy solution, if you want something different than a current Japanese high-end lens. >> Alf, do I understand that you do not like high resolution, high contrast lenses? I can certainly understand that for some situations, such as portraits, a soft contrast lens produces nice results. But are there not many situations, where a high contrast, high resolution lens is desirable? In general, isn't sharper better? Tom Shea
