Re: [OM] what's good... OM Lenses

[Bolty]

I don't know about Lecia lenses but there is no doubt that good old Olly
Lenses are certainly very sharp. See this image

Taken with a standard 50 f1.8 on Kodak 400tcn print film. For me I would
rather have sharpness over contrast, at least for what I do with my images.
I have the image scanned, so being able to capture a broad tonal range and
get good detail in both shadow and the brighter parts of an image is
preffered. I can then bump up the contrast in an image edditting program. It
certainly is a lot harder to get sharpness out of an image if it is not
there in the first place.
