I know that sounds stupid, but the contrast seems better (richer) in Zeiss photos, and definition (resolution) seems better in the Leica photos. I don't always like sharper (and definitely dislike sharpened!). To go out on a limb, CV lenses seem more Leica-like, and Konica lenses seem more Zeiss-like. That's my perception, and I'm sticking to it. ;-) Jeffery On Sat, 8 Jan 2005 08:55:04 -0800, Slobodan Dimitrov <s.dimitrov@charter.net> wrote: > Subjectively speaking, I always felt that my Zeiss 120 lenses > outperformed my leica lenses.
