Basically, I'll be very interested if you have a test where a same scene has been taken with lenses of different brands and where one can see a difference in the tonal range on the negative. As far as I'am concerned, the issue of resolution in this discussion is NOT important. I happen to ask this question as I made 3 contact sheets recently with a Hexar AF and the result is quite different from what I've got with my old 35mm MD. Even more stunning than the results I've obtained sometimes ago with a Leica M6, but I wasn't familiar enough with the Leica to get the most out of it. Being aware of all the hype around the HExar AF as a low budget Leica, I keep telling me that my impression is just "autopersuasion" for a path to another camera :) Thanks. Michel Le
