During my RFF addiction times, still kicking for dopamine in the cheapo challengers field, I have been hearing time and again about "legendary" lens. Who hasn't?
Thus for example the Yashica Yashinons have been challenging Leica glass. Zuiko optics have been beyond question. Konica's Hexanons of the sixties are part of The Family.
Yet, the absence of Canonets "Canon" glass in the beauty competition is something I would like to reconsider outspokenly in this thread. Is it inferior to the cheapo lengendary ones ?
Has the extremely filled functions' package of the GIIIs stolen the attention from the optical side of the Canonets ?
And BTW, are the optics of the 45mm f1.9 inferior ?
Let's talk and show images. Just one minor request: if you are going to show an image, take into account that the quality of a lens cannot be seen in a computer screen if the picture was done at mid-day light with ISO 100 fujicolor etc.
To my opinion, which of course can be debated, the best image test of a lens is at the closest possible distance and widest possible apperture. Here we really enter the beauty's dressing room.
Cheers,
Ruben
