Same here Dick!
I was just struck, having shot three rolls of E200 of the same subject, how much
all my lenses matched up.
You can't tell that so much looking at black and white contact sheets.
But laying out slides on my light table the contrast and sharpness and lack of
flair all seemed to match up will all the lenses I used. Just the perspective
changes. 
the f2.8/24 ASPH, f2/35 ASPH, f2/50, and the f2/90 APO ASPH,
A very uniform look to my light table!
Didn't get that from Nikon!
My experience with Nikon that the more you differed from normal (50) the more
you lost contrast and sharpness and got flair.
