A large print (20x enlargement) would likely do better at differentiating them. With the sky so different and the exposure slightly different, it's hard to determine whether you have the Tessar's chaacteristic corner light falloff or not. Web pictures can be great but a great camera and lens can easily provide only the quality of a medium quality camera and lens ... the resolution and response range of the digital medium is the limiting factor. See my page at <http://www.bayarea.net/~ramarren/AlfaRomeos/TZ-AID/AR-TZ.html> for an interesting comparison of this sort. Five pictures, taken with a Rolleiflex TLR and a Minox EC ... Both are excellent cameras and lenses, but one is a 60x60mm format and the other is 8x11mm. Can you determine which is which and tell me why you thought so? (There is a key linked to the page... ;) Godfrey
