My Canon L zooms benefit from the micro adjustment for auto focus, but the
primes seem OK as is, so far.  I wonder where the auto-focus point was with
the Nikon?  Judging from the out-of-focus areas, I'm guessing it was not on
the eyes.

Hmmm,
A new Nikon 50mm F1.4 G is less than $500 and a new 50mm Summilux Asph is
$4,000. Perhaps there is some truth that you get what you pay for. :-) Also
I have found that all my nikon lenses benefited from being auto focus fine
tuned due to variations in assembly. Perhaps the 50 Nikkor in this test was
not tuned to the body used. Just a thought. I have two Nikkor 50 f1.4 D
lenses and they are both softer at f1.8 than my newly purchased and focus
tuned 50mm F1.8 G. It cost me $220.00.

Would if I could.
Wish I had both (or either) kits in my possession. ;~(
