I have seen situations where the same lens could not get a sharp picture, no matter what - -- usually flat lit scenes with not a lot of detail. high contrast scenes, on the other hand, LOOK sharper, sometimes even when shot with a kodak brownie. i refuse to believe an aspheric is that much sharper than a good summicron, given the right circumstances. just curious, since so many of these things are subjective... charlie trentelman ogden, utah
