The overall quality of pictures taken a f2.0 or f2.8 is better, at least on 100 iso film. Maybe it is not more sharp, but it has more contrast, which gives a better color rendition. By the way, what exactly do you want to know about CI test ? By memory, the result for the 35mm/F2.0 ASPH was: optical quality: ****** Q/P: *** or **** (I'm not sure) Cote d'amour: **** Comment: nearly as good as the 35mm/1.4 ASPH, so they are the best 35mm around. Clearly better than the previous summicron 2.0 wide open, and the price raise is reasonable. - -- Pascal Meheut pascal@murex.fr
