Optics and Lenses - This forum is aimed towards the TECHNICAL side of photographic OPTICS and LENSES. There will be some overlap by camera/manufacturer, but this forum is for the heavy duty tech discussions. This is NOT the place to discuss a specific lens or lens line, do that in the appropriate forum. This is the forum to discuss optics or lenses in general, to learn about the tech behind the lenses and images. IF you have a question about a specific lens, post it in the forum about that type of camera, NOT HERE.

Sean Reid's Comparison of 75mm lenses

Sean Reid's review of the 75mm Summarit is out. Besides the fact that the Summarit performs quite excellently, inexpensive CV 75 gave the two Leica contenders (Summicron in addition to the Summarit) a run for the money.
But go see yourself, again a review worth reading from Sean.
One more lens omparison, which makes me think which Leica lens is still undisputed king of its focal length. Maybe only the 50lux asph?

Go look the 50 mm's comparison over there: the Nokton does the same thing to the Summi ASPH

unless you're a pro or can easily afford the cash, the cv lenses are so close in results that they really seem the best choice in many cases.
