At f8 (which is my normal working aperture on my focomat Ic) it was impossible for me to see which lens was the best. concerning the analyser pro, it is a very handy tool to speed up your darkroomwork. It doesn't make automatic 'perfect' prints but it will help you to make a decent print without teststrips and once you have a decent print, your 'perfect' print isn't that far away. I also use it as a densitometer and it works quite accurate compared to a 'real' densitometer. A disadvantage is the calculating speed, sometimes it takes about 10 seconds for one reading while it takes in normal cases only a second. I doubted on buying a Heiland Splitgrade which may be more advanced but it is too expensive for an amateur.
