I also believe that I prefer the way Zuikos render contrast as compared to
Nikkors I own, which can sometimes render cartoon-like results.
Probably this is also a reason I like my SC lenses so much.
As for sharpness, there are more variables in my technique to affect this
than the difference between an A- and a B+, if you know what I mean. ;-)
