I couldn't believe my eyes when I downloaded the images from the compact flash card.
I mean, the 100% crops wide open of this lens hand-held, are better than my full size 1:1 stopped down tripod images of my Makro-Planar 100.
I believe this is the most amazingly resolving and sharp lens I have ever got or used.
It breaks down to pieces my Leica Apo-Telyt-R 180.

That is truly amazing Orio and thanks for sharing. At that zoom range the results are stunning and the 300 is as good as any prime I have seen (if not better).

I read that this lens beat fixed Canon L
I can believe it when I check the Zeiss MTF's
for 300mm, in body stabilization is important; a Pentax with Leitax kit could give it |

Congrats for this lens.
Is the high resolution of the lens causing this noise and moiré effect?
Never seen anything sharper than this (chapeau)

Almost. In some areas sometimes there can be a slight hint of red CA at 300mm wide open, but very minor, so little that a value of just +1 in the Lens Correction filter of Photoshop can remove it.
I don't do it though, because I am always of the impression that fixing CA via software softens the image, and for this small amount it really isn't worth it. It is really such a minor thing that can be ignored
- I bet it's not even visible when printed, only pixel peeping on computer monitor might reveal it.
Some lenses that are reputed very high, such as the Sonnar 180, have loads more CA than this one.
It is really a jewel lens. Admirable and a must have for Contax users.
