Ok new test shots taken at f/8 with all 3. Images focused using a anglefinder set at 2x with MLU and a remote while tripod mounted. Shots taken with a Canon 5D so these are from a full frame DSLR. RAW unprocessed and cropped at 100% with only default ACR capture sharpening being done.

I really don't see an appreciable difference myself. I'm showing a shot from the center and the lower right corner

Contax 135/2.8




Leica R 135/2.8




Pentax 135/3.5




I will still take some heads shots to see how they compare but my main purpose for them is landscape work.

Curious what other's think of the differences.

Select, nice day with bright sunshine and all lenses will sign from Revuenon to Leica;) For landscape work more important ideal subject, light, than technical accessories in my opinion.

These are both crops? From what whole image? I don't understand. I need to see the whole image.

In any case for my experience at f/8 all medium tele lenses perform similarly except for really bad ones.

Oh sorry, both scenes are 100% crops from one image. The closeup of the building is from the center and the other crop is the lower right corner.
