It's my husband's lens and he and I shot shot the same subject (some shacks in the Florida Everglades at the water's edge) to compare the F100 and the M6 with 50mm lenses. He used that Nikkor lens because it had a 50mm setting and I guess it was on his camera. >> Thanks for the clarification. I also spoke to a friend who says his 50 f1.8 AF Nikkor blows the 28-70 AF-S away. That little $80 plastic-body lens has MTF values close to the M-Summicron (.85 vs .86 avg, .62 vs .67 @ 40 lppm) so your comparison to the Leica lens seems right-on.
