Tried my Sonnar 50/1.5 with Superia 200 and the Kiev 4aM and got this one which show how it renders and how sharp it is. I think I'll really like it.

Successful test. Now can we have some real pictures, please?

I think you've got a winner there, Tony.

Hmmm. Its lattice fencing. Am I missing something?

It's a great lens and a good lens test. It shows performance across the full-frame. Typically, if the elements are mis-centered, an edge will suffer.

A rebuilt J-3, wide-open at f1.5.

It's a good test that the front element is centered properly. I use an ultrasonic cleaner to vibrate the lens as the retaining ring is tightened. Theory is the vibrations help center it.
