Voigtlander 35mm f/2 APO-Lanthar Review
These were taken with all in camera corrections off, on a tripod, manually focused. They were processed in Lightroom, all corrections off (although it said it was using a built in profile for the Tamron.) Minimal sharpening applied.
All were taken on my a7R III, in silent shutter mode. Focus was on the bolt seen in the first set, I might have nailed it on the CV shot. On the Tamron shot, I might have backfocused a hair since it's so hard to manual focus with the Tamron. I'm not sure I would use the moire on the wood as an indication of sharpness.
Hopefully this will give you an idea where I pulled the crops from. I choose the focus point, top left corner and then another area where there was noticeable difference between the two lenses.
