> Below is a link to an interesting page with test charts for all major > 50mm lenses out there.
Just for simplicity (to make it easier to compare the K-mount 50's), I put the Pentax and Ricoh lens charts on a page at http://www.cetussoft.com/pentax/xitek50/ If anyone can come up with English translations for the Chinese comments below each chart (on the original site), I'll add them, too. I think that the charts pretty much confirm my own experiences, although I'm comparing all A lenses (substituting my A models for the FA 50/1.4 and FA 50/1.7 lenses). That is to say, I ~still~ think that - 1. My favorite 50 is the A 50/1.4. 2. The A 50/1.2 is a better lens than some people give it credit for. 3. The A 50/2 has a high "bang for the buck ratio". 4. And then there's the A 50/1.7... Fred
