Certainly, some lenses have different characteristics than others. I question whether differences among lens families (with top quality lenses) would be found in a scientifically controlled study, based upon looking at 8 x 10 prints. Tom Shea << Tom, I shoot ISO 400 B&W negatives alone and make mostly up to 20x30 cm prints. This is not a very good platform where one can say something about lens characters. Nontheless, I was surprised to see differences when I switched from Canon to Contax SLR/G. I was much more surprised to see differences when I switched from Contax SLR/G to Leica R/M. Frankly speaking, I regretted switching from Zeiss to Leica for a whole year, because I then was not happy with the differences I saw. I cannot tell which marque is used with every picture, but with a roll of film I regularly use I may be able to do so. I would be curious what you think about my evaluation of Leica and Zeiss lenses at my site. Do they make no sense?? >>
