This if far more important to me than a slight difference in contrast/resolution. I did notice that Erwin mentioned that the fourth version of the 35 Summicron had a more neutral color rendition than (some of) the lenses using molded aspheric elements. All this business of lens testing reminds me of the rave reviews that Modern Photo gave to a no-name telephoto when someone finally got around to shooting color with the thing and found out it was a disaster. Too bad lens tests don't include an evaluation or comparison of color rendition. Bud Cook Thomas J.
