I don't have the review in front of me, but I remember that there was a general comment that the resolution figures were comparable (or "on par"?) with the manual focus lens; the implication of this, and the wording you quote is that the lens they tested was a good or better than the manual focus lens. I will try to find my old copy of the Pop Photo test (Feb 99) that compared 50mm 1.4 optics from several manufacturers, to see that actual lines-per-mm results for the manual focus lens. The review of the NX is now on the web, at http://www.popularphotography.com. Unfortunately the lens tests aren't. I was surprised at the results of the 28-80 N zoom lens test; it appears to be a superb lens, despite its relatively low cost.
