135mm test shoot out! Leica vs Nikon vs Russian Lenses

[maldaye]

Ok,

This is second roud of my test shots to decide on which lenses to keep and which to sell. The focus here is only on 135mm primes. I had a Tamron 135mm, but it turned out it isn't going to work on my Nikon.

Camera used is my D800. I do have a D7000, but I wanted to try the D800 as it pushes the limits of old lenses.

The shots were all done at the same time.

The first set are taken at the widest aperature to show Bokeh outdoors.
The second set are for far objects to challenge the lens ability to resolve sharply at distance. They were taken at f11-f16 for high DOF.
The third set were indoor portraits. They were taken at f11-f16 for high DOF.
