I'm absolutely agree with the George comment, I've owned a Super Angulon R
1:4/21mm, and in my opinion was clearly better than Elmarit M 2,8/21mm, I
was very satisfied too with the quality of the Summicron R 90mm, and with
the Apo Telyt 3,4/180mm.
Saludos cordiales
Luis

As far as the wide angle comparison - I think it unfair to compare
retrofocus wide angle designs with true wide angle designs. 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.
