IMHO, the lens is baccarat; crystal for reflex cameras is not so common in other brands, the cron outperforms the Asahi Takumar 50. 14 , 55 1.8 , oly 50 1.4 , canon 1.8 (contrast was better here, not sharpness BTW), nikon, contax/zeiss 50s (well, not so bad after all). ... I've had. I don't have a summi, but I'm so happy with the cron. Enjoy ! Bien cordialement Philippe Jim Nichols wrote: > Hi Philippe, > > I hope it works out.
