A quick test I do last month no sharpening

What are the two above poilu? Assuming that you have focused consistently between the different lenses (it's more difficult than one can think), I would say that the two above perform significantly clearer.

contax 60 & contax 100

I made only one shot and it is more difficult to focus with a F4 than a 2.8
It is possible I made mistake and it was more for fun.
But my shot outside confirmed the pentax is soft wide open and you have to close a lot to have acceptable result. Maybe I have a lemon.
The contaxs look better than the tamron. But on real shot the tamron shine, is a very special lens and I will keep it.

poilu

that Tamron is under-rated in many places. It has a 3D effect when focussed right. I would certainly never part with mine, even though I have others that are sharper
