The weather was so good that I have only had time for a very quick glance through them. Few surprises here (except that the 135 with goggles actually worked! One I did not expect was the yellow cast on one of the Canon 50s. Actual lenses tested were Voigtlander 15 f4.5 SM Canon Serenar 28 f3.5 (SM old solid metal, tiny) Leica Summilax ASPH 35 f1.4 Leica Elmar 50 f3.5 (SM Looks like its from the 1930s) Leica Elmar 50 f2.8 Not latest Canon 50 f1.8 SM Canon Serenar 50 f1.8 SM(the one with the yellow cast) Canon 50 f1.4 SM Leica Noctilux 50 f1.0 SM Leica Elmarit 90 f2.8 SM Leica Elmarit 135 f2.8 SM Not a rigourous test - just to see what sort of worked. I see that the Voightlander did not make the upload - I will add it later. Also the Noctilux at F1.0 is a tad overexposed! Looks like the 28mm Canon is not quite sharp enough to get by. Pity - I will need to buy a new 28mm to get an effective 35mm. -- Clive http://www.clive.moss.net/blog/
