While good, modded R2 did not fully reach M9 quality towards edges with 21/4.5 which is the \"magic bullet\". M9 sensor is built differently - microlenses?
Actually most feel the M9 is well behind film with that particular Lens. The CV 21/4 suffers in the same way on the M9: I have shot it a lot, do I know Nico manages to coax good edges, I\'m pretty sure he is stopped way down.
Sam noted some older lenses might be better suited to less pixels, but that leaves many lenses including strong older lenses, of which there are many, where honestly I think the jury is still out. You really need to shoot them side-by-side M9VR2, downsize the R2 to M9 dimensions, then look.
I\'ve seen some do the math, and say the sensors, even at 42, will not beat the optics. This is not a settled issue. But maybe we will be able to settle it ;-) I\'m pretty confident the V4 50 Cron, 28 Cron, ZM 18, all SEMs, are not going to be out-resolved, and I guess the very best LTM lenses, like the Nikkor 85 two, or canon 100/2, are also going to be very good.
However, I\'ve been wrong before ;-)
