can't understand. He said "Some years ago I tested the R version against the
Nikon 2.8/24 and I found the outcome a draw."

What does it mean? Is R24 quality the same as nikkor? >>

As I recall, some years ago the R 24mm was actually made in Japan, by Minolta 
I believe. Is that right or was it just a Minolta design. Or am I totally 
daft?
