They make a big point of the fact that they were unable to get in focus shots from wide open lenses. In addition the 15mm had the vignetting problem Henning found though the 12 was MUCH better in (only) this respect. In summary 50 f2 summicron nothing at f2, poor at f2.8 excellent from f4 50 f2.5 CV nothing at 2.5 excellent from f4 (> Summicron!) 35 f2.5 CV nothing at 2.5 excellent from f4 28 f1.9 CV poor at 1.9 excellent from f2.8 21 f4 CV good from f4 15 f4.5 CV average from f4.5 12 f5.6 CV not bad at 5.6 and f8 then deteriorating. The poorest chromatic performance was the summicron.
