[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hans, Thanks much. I generally agree; there is a noticable difference in contrast at least. To clarify my lack of attention to speeds and stops: I shot each pair no more than a minute or so apart in about the same lighting. I don't believe I ever changed the speed on the second shot, I just metered again with the Nokton. So there probably are no differences at all in speed, but there may be marginal differences in stops. It's not hard to tell which were shot wide open or nearly so.

Matt, Thanks for your efforts! It is hard to comment, as you did not consider F/stops, etc. But take a look at: http://www.htsrecordings.com/lens15-16.htm and http://www.htsrecordings.com/lens7-8.htm and you will notice a difference in contrast/crispness, at least on my screen. I prefer the Nokton shots to the collapsible Summicron. Hans > I took some pictures. More specifically, I set myself up as a lens-testing > expert.
