Re: [Leica] M6 question

Javad:

Erwin Puts warns about comparing lenses of drastically different focal 
lengths. It is at the bottom of the report linked below:

http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/mseries/testm/M28-24.html

To Quote Erwin Puts:

"Many users could make a small mistake when comparing lenses. If you would 
use a Summicron-M 50mm and a Elmarit-M 24 mm side by side and take pictures 
of the same object at the same distance the Summicron will win. Simply a 
matter of magnification. As the focal length of the E is half the one of 
the S any small detail that is reproduced by the E is also reduced twice in 
comparison to the S. So detail rendition of the S is invariably better. The 
meaningful comparison would be to take pictures at 100x the focal length 
and then you will notice that the E is almost equal to the S."


Regards,

Robert
