pretty much a jive test with a top Schneider fixed lens and a Nikon Zoom. i don’t care what the reason… most would like to see apple compared with apples.

What is amazing is that the Nikon compared so favorably!

Favorably? Man, that’s not even close! I don’t see how anyone could call this “one step behind”?! The difference is night and day!
