The "sharpest" lense is for me the 80 f4 for Mamiya 7... But in term of bokeh : f4 and 1 meter close focusing are poor. i like very much my 35 asph summilux (some older lenses like non asph summilux have better bokeh but i don't use them), blured highligts are a little bit harsh on the zeiss 100 Franck Lequeux-Capellot Paris-France http://www.fluid.claranet.fr/home.html > De : Jeff S <4season@boulder.net> > Répondre à : leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Date : Mon, 04 Dec 2000 22:37:52 -0700 > À : leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Objet : Re: [Leica] Leica-like medium format lenses? > > I recently ran a roll of my usual film through the Fuji GA645zi pro > point 'n shoot, and deliberately shot at close range, with a large > aperture and busy background.
