Well. This continues along its ugly, nonsensical path.
Douglas, not to insult you, but i hope you don't really believe you can assess 'sharpness' from viewing small, low-res web images. True "proof" could only come from examining the negs/chromes with the appropriate loupe, or from photographic process prints. And, at that, you'd have to compare the same shot made with each lens, under the same conditions. Preferably, on the same roll of film, if you want to go so far....
All this is to say nothing about the fact that different people apply varying amounts of Unsharp Masking when preparing images for the web, from scans. I can easily make a disposable camera image 'appear' to be sharper than something from my Hasselblad, Contax, or Leica.
Luis,
I'm having trouble getting your links to work. But, as i said before, i have liked your stuff for quite a while. I was, in fact, disappointed to not find among your Leica Forum top Ten the image of your father, and the image of the man sitting at the bar.... Why don't you have a website?
