The comparison I made was with respect to sharpness and contrast, not colour rendering. In that regard, I would not doubt that your RF-Summicron (approximate in age to my 2.8 Summaron) would have a discernably different colour rendering than a 4th generation lens. My earliest Summicron is a 3rd generation 6-element (1974) and if there is any difference in its colour rendering compared to that of both the 4th and 5th (ASPH) versions, it is so subtle that it falls well beyond my (or anyone I've encountered) ability to discern it. Of course, colour perception is a much more varied human trait than visual acuity. Regards, Nigel On Sat, 10 Oct 1998 19:28:35 -0500 budcook@ibm.net writes: >Nigel, >Did you use color reversal film?
