The lenses of these cameras produce professional quality results, especially the Sonnar of the S and SE, front-cell focusing Tessar and Xenar-S are only slightly behind at closer focusing distances. BTW the Sonnar is a bit better in the center than Summicron 50 mm according to Modern Photography´s tests. All the best!
