I am assuming that your enlargements were 11" x 14" or larger. Below that
size, I doubt there is any great difference in image quality. Using
transparancies and a high quality projector, a Leitz for example, would be a
better test.
With 4" x 6" or even 8" x 10" prints I have difficulty distingushing between
lenses used.
