Thanks for the lenses guys!!! I've always love Sonnars and today was just a wet dream come true. Haha!!! Now I am longing for a MS Optical and ZM Sonnars.

Dave, package deal....MS & ZM for your 50 lux ASPH or naughtylux 0.95 (thank you lowlights for the deep poisoning)...how? :bsmilie:

Cool test guys!

I have had big GAS for the MS Optic for quite a while now and this test is not going to help me...

Brothers...chance of meeting each other is one in a million...both lenses belong to different RF.SG members and brought from different countries...:bsmilie:

Oh MY GOD!

TWINS!

I really like the Russians! Colours straight off is so punchy! Could it be due to the radio active substances??? :bsmilie:

ok, my comments for budget RF-ers.

The J3 BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY

Seriously the J3 performance over the price of the lens is crazy!!!!!!!!!

My take if I were to chiong & buy sonnar now would be J3, Canon Sonnar & of course ZM.

The rollei is si beh sharp la & color is also bagus
