This is a good article:

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/lenses/fastlensreview.shtml

The following lenses are reviewed

Voigtlander 35mm f1.2 Nokton
Leica 35mm f1.4 Summilux Aspherical
Canon 35mm f1.5
Voigtlander 35mm f1.7 Ultron
Canon 35mm f2.0
Zeiss 35mm f2.0 Biogon
Voigtlander 40mm f1.4 Nokton
Leica 50mm f1.0 Noctilux
Canon 50mm f1.2
Canon 50mm f1.4
Leica 50mm f1.4 Summilux Aspherical
Voigtlander 50mm f1.5 Nokton
Canon 50mm f1.8
Leica 50mm f2.0

Specifically, it deals with how they perform on the Epson RD-1, but I ike seeing how they compare with eachother in general.

Hi Sirius.

Sean did a great job with that review. I believe he did a wide angle review also, and now has his own website where he posts his reviews. I may be wrong, but I believed he borrowed some of the lenses he speaks of in this article from members here.

I'd bet that the pentax 43/1.9 would kick butt over many of these below.

If you have an itch to buy this for your DL, you may be interested in reading this review of the DS, specifically on using it with prime lenses like the 43mm. And get your credit card ready. 😉
