I know that I should not compare these lenses because of the differences. But the pictures were at the first glance really much more sharper. I like R8 an its lenses very much, specially the APO macro, it's really one of the sharpest lenses I've ever had. I don't think I'm gonna get that bug, becaue I'd stay with R8.

Now where did I put the brochure on the Tri-elmar and that magy thing !!
