Nathan,

I agree with your statement, I didn’t had the intention to do a test, just the coincidence I have shoot at the same place and same aperture and I’ve compared, now I want do a test as you say, I love both lenses fingerprint and I didn’t expect that they show such differences in contrast. I love too the Collapsible, with film I didn’t remark it was very different to the Rigid.

Thank you!

Un abrazo
Lluis
