Hi, folks.

Interesting comparisons of Zeiss Biogon 35mm f2 with Nokton, Ultron, 
Color Skopar, Summicron ASPH, Summicron (8-element), W-Nikkor, Hexanon 
(L-mount)lenses all done on R-D1:

The test images are shown in the order mentioned above.

The tester concludes that Nokton is the best including performance at 
f4-8. He also notes that the vintage Summicron and Nikkor perform better 
than expected and rival modern lenses.

And Planar 50mm:
