If you remember, some tests showed the 50mm F1.4 of other manufacturers to be superior to Leica. So the question is, can one see any difference in a photo.

Mike, It really depends. You say that you are a really really good printer. Your magazine is terrific and I believe you are a really good printer. If you are as good as you say you are I am certain that I would be able to see the differences between inferior and superior lenses. Are you able to bring out the very best a lens has to offer?
