But this sharpness seems to be most apparent literally at portrait distances, such as < 5 feet. The Nikkor does have what Nikon calls "Close Range Correction" (another name for floating elements, which my Minolta has as well), and this may be what I am seeing. As far as tests go, don't hold your breath, I won't be doing another one any time soon. But it would be interesting to compare the 85 nikkor, the APO 90, the 75 Summilux, and the Minolta 100. I'm not certain how to reconcile the varying focal lengths to make the playing field even. Dan C.
