Paul, these are fine pictures indeed. I remain to be convinced on the 50-110 zoom lens, having received the results back from a couple of Fuji Reala, Fuji Superia 100 and 400 print films on 20x30 cm prints. Apart from the fact that the lens, in my view, seems prone to internal reflections when used in conditions with sunrays falling obliquely into the lens, somehow I think it could be sharper. The HC 80/2.8 gives me more cause for satisfaction in regard of both issues.
I am used to the quality delivered by the latest generation of Leica M and R lenses, so I may be spoilt. But so far, the zoom fails to deliver for me.
I wonder what other users are saying.
