Testing four RF 50mm lenses

[raid]

I don't use any digital camera for such a lens comparison, so I cannot answer your question. Keeping film photography alive is important, so I use film.

I am not the author of this thread. I just mentioned what applies to me.

You may have wanted to do so, but you quoted me instead. This can happen.

Lawrence: Thanks for sharing that story. Are you saying that Peter at CCR felt that the lens was as sharp as should be expected from a cron?

No, he didn't check the sharpness he just made sure that it was put together correctly. Because it was s/h there was a possibility that it had been disassembled and not reassembled correctly but there was no evidence of this. To check the sharpness would have taken ages with test targets etc. and too expensive to bother with. Point is that Leica lenses are not necessarily all wonderful and subject to variation just like other lenses. What I found surprising was that it was so much worse than the rigid and the Heliar Classic...
