the lens test results often have as much to do with the tester as the lens,
something which has been discussed many times on practically every photo
mailing list.

however, the highest performing lens ever tested by Pop Photo was the Cosina
Voigtlander 50/3.5, I think in the April 2002 issue  In the same issue the
new Nikkor 45/2.8 introduced with the Nikon FM3A performed almost as well.
I believe it is also manufactured by Cosina.

when all is said and done though, it's the photog that makes the quality
shot, not the lens.   in other words, there is more benefit in learning to
be a better photog, than trying to figure out which is the best lens.
