The same location, the same film (usually Reala), different distance for different lenses, tripod, cable and on my FM2 mirror is up (timer). Besides sharpness, I look on colors, how they flow, how they are presented, how rich or not they are. It is especially visible on curved surface. Leica is the best in that matter. Other brands (Nikon, friend’s Canon) give me flat colors, on the surface nothing is happening; there is usually no color modulation or smooth color change. Those values are probably not scientific?! How to measure color accuracy?
