I have verified this. When I show people a picture taken with the 1.4/50, many are impressed, even if by inspecting the image, it's not as sharp as some other lenses may be. But if it won the prize for all-time best 50mm lens (Leica Summicron came second) there must be a reason why. I don't know how to call it differently but "organic quality". This lens makes the most boring things around us look alive. It is a very rare quality. Another lens that has it it's the Helios-40-2. Another, in my opinion, it's the MIR-24.
But these lenses are very rare cases, most lenses look like normal, maybe super sharp, but nothing special. _________________ Orio, Administrator
