Anyone know if it's been done- a test on the new S3 50mm lens? I understand it's pretty good, but I've been curious as to the actual numbers.

The 50/1.4 Nikkor comes very close the best, the 50/1.4 Summilux asph. from reviews I've read. Quite a feather in Nikon's cap.

The design of the 50/1.4 Nikkor predates the Summilux aspherical lens. So, really, it's quite a feather in Leitz's cap.

By all external evidence, the Nikon 50/1.4 that ships with the S3-2000 is a multicoated version of the 1964 "Olympic" Nikkor, of which only a few thousand were made in the twilight of the Nikon RF era.
