I don't know if that's the case, but it sounded interesting. I have a late 35/2-R and it's a great lens. It's fantastic paired with Kodachrome -- or any b/w film. <<< If that's true I'd be curious to see what an emphasis on resolution would have produced. As it is the resolution is great, and the contrast, especially the lack of veiling flare, is exceptional. A former LUGger mentioned some flare in odd circumstances, like when the sun was in certain places outside the field of view but I suspect that was from reflections inside the camera's mirror chamber.
