I wonder about copy variation in all these tests. I apparently lucked into a stellar copy of the color-skopar. I honestly can't see any evidence of the reported mid-zone dip in any real photos. It's super sharp across the frame at f5.6, and plenty good enough wide open. If I were you I'd make my decision based purely on your need for f1.4 vs your desire for ultrasmall - that's the tradeoff, and I doubt you'd see any important difference beyond f4 or at least f5.6.


Yeah, that's a legitimate question. At the very least, we know that when Fred says a lens is well-centered that it is, but there's certainly more to copy variation than centering.

Yeah, I’m going to stick with my Color-Skopar. At that focal length I don’t need a large aperture and the small size is super nice.
