Looking backwards and forwards through all the comparisons I\'ve shot, my impressions and personal ratings are coming together.
If I had to rank the lenses, they would be:
1st. MD ø49mm Only by a whisker, and only if the sun is not in the lens!
2nd. OM It really is the \"reference\" 24mm
3rd. X-Fujinon The dark horse. If it weren\'t slightly less wide, I\'d often mistake it for the OM!
4th. Nikkor Ai Let down by distant corners.
5th. FDn It may be evenly sharp, but I don\'t like the colour, clarity or the ergonomics
6th. MD ø55mm (Maybe I\'ve just had 3 bad copies!) Mid-zone dip. Best ergonomics and colour!
Floating. ZS 25/2.8
I will post my full infinity series, and perhaps one or two more full series comparison.
I need to do some reshooting with the reset Fuji, probably in a comparison with just the OM, to see if there is any noticeable change.
Then I will do a final series with the ZS in comparison with the OM and MD ø49mm.
