The distinguished authors conclude that the aspherical is only slightly better than the previous lens. Included are sections of 18x enlargements showing a detail of eyelashes taken by each lens. The text of the article says that the eyelash detail of the aspherical is better than the detail of the non-aspherical. However, to me the non- aspherical detail is worse - not better. Are the details juxtaposed? Or are my eyes (or monitor) really that bad? Anyway, it is interesting to see that the differences are rather small. Of course Erwin keeps telling us this and how excellent technique is necessary to use the full capabilities of these wonderful lenses we get to use. Tom Shea
