Sharpest Lens Ever under $4000 ??

[NeeZee]

Considering that the mods here are pretty quick with deleting inappropriate posts (not complaining btw - rightly so most of the time), i sometimes wonder why kindergarten threads like this one don't just get erased for the good of mankind...

Not in my experience, but then again, how many samples of each has any of us tried?

As for 'sharp at f/8', well, yes, pretty much any lens should be.

Some lenses aren't even sharp at f8.

If sharpness in the final image is your sole criterion, stop piddling around with small formats.

All, right, pretty much any half-decent lens for small formats (35mm or less), especially prime lenses in the 50 to 90mm range. Not (for example) my 90-190/5.8 Yashinon or 90/6.8 Angulon.

Leica M 50/2.

Btw; why all the bickering from those who don't want to discuss topic? Go find somewhere else to play

My sharpest lens for the 35mm format is the Canon f0.95. On my Leica M9 it's sharper than my Summilux at f8.

Not so much bickering as trying to establish a few more meaningful parameters.
