Moreover, I've found my old 21/4 R SuperAngulon to perform better, over the full range of f stops, than any comparable focal length by Canon or Nikon (I've owned all three). Obviously individual samples may come into play in these anecdotal comparisons. As far as the 35 and 50 R Crons. I'd be hard pressed to call them "weak" (but then I haven't owned an M cron for over 25 years). My 35 and 50 R Crons display fine detail, contrast, and great tonal separation in shadows and highlights at all stops. Regards, George Lottermoser george@imagist.com On Sep 23, 2007, at 10:16 PM, A.
