contrast on cv 50 vs 35 (2.5s)

[back alley]

i asked this elsewhere but i think it got lost.

is the contrast of cv 50/2.5 the same as the (high) contrast 35/2.5 ?

I'm interested too ... so here's a bump

I have this shot with the 50/2.5, at 2.5 or 2.8.

I think that the film was slightly underdeveloped (I didn't have my developing
times well callibrated some time ago), so contrast was lowered. However,
I've never felt that the 50/2.5 has low contrast, but neither too much.

Wow, I love those fishies !

I have both lenses, but I haven't used them enough with the same films to be sure. But so far I get the feeling that the 50 has a little less contrast.

The 50mm lens has very slightly less contrast than the 35mm

I carried out a comparison test a few years ago. The lighting conditions weren't great, but I think the difference can be seen. The results are here:
