I agree, there seems to be huge variance. I've also had a (beautiful)
silvernosed
50/1.4 SC, and it was terribly soft wide open. The >1.1mil 50/1.4 MC I
have no
is simply stupendously sharp, I have a 9x12 darkroom print made at f/
1.4 of a street scene
(distant, so everything is in focus) which is just amazing, nobody
believes me it was taken
at f/1.4.
