Send the subject and light <too, but a single slide is hardly a significant test. A track record of <performance under the conditions I work with tells me if a lens is worth the <money or not.<<<< <Hi Doug, <Save yer time lad, this "challenge is a no brainer" and complete waste of <your important time, which would be better spent doing what you do so <beautifully, capturing elements of Mother Nature.< <We've seen these kinds of dumb ass challenges arrive on the screen over the <years and nothing can be proven unless the lenses are used at exactly the <same moment, same place, same subject etc etc etc!!!!!!!!!!! <Hell it would be much faster to ship the two lenses to Erwin, let him do his <thing or some reputable lens testing company and let them knock themselves <out doing the techie stuff. Which inturn wont prove anything other than <........ you are happy with your lens and the other guy is happy with his! <Game over and never the twain shall meet in equal harmony. :-) <ted Ted I did a similar test, same object, same light, same moment and two lenses, (not micro but wides) Summicron 28mm ASPH f1:2 and Nikkor 28mm f1:2. You can see at http:\\fmaturanavizcaya.tripod.com\fmaturana and the result is the Leica is better than the Nikkor but not as much as the price's difference. Every month I'm going to do a comparative test of similar lenses (I've got the time) and I'm not biased in favour of any brand (including Leica).
