You might find pp. 64-66 of Ctein's book Post Exposure a fascinating
read. With respect to the lenses with which I'm acquainted, I find
myself quite in agreement with him, though he's gone further in his
testing than I ever did. Note that a few lenses even cope with more than
one format; I've used his experience to guide purchase of enlarging
lenses for my own work. At any rate, the book is a useful reference.
People with strong opinions based on experience are often interesting.
