RF vs SLR lenses

If that's the case I'd say you have bad copies of the lens. Why are you compairing them wide open for landscape shots anyway?

Two bad copies of the same lens, previously tested against three other Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 and yileding better results than them?
I would say the odds that these two are lemons are thin...
I didn't shoot wide open but at f/4, assuming that by this aperture, such lens would reach its peak or close to it.
Now don't get me wrong: it's not that far from the summicron, and at its price, probably a much better deal, but still, in terms of resolution, the summicron clearly wins, albeit by a small margin.

NO!

Do not spread misinformation about things you have no idea about. If you think "you use a wide-angle lens if you want to shoot landscapes" then you don't even know THE most fundamental basic things about photography in general, and you might want to go back to studying your A B C's, let alone tell others what to do.

Using wide-angle lenses for landscape became most popular in modern times (I think), and it's quickly got utterly boring for me personally.

For me wide angles lens are for interiors and architecture and I use "normal" and long lenses for landscapes but that's personal taste and everyone use whatever they like...

Ansel Adams has landscape pictures taken with anything from ultra wide angle to super telephoto

Look for example at Mount Williamson and then the Snake River.

Why do you get so upset?
