I was troubled by the difference in contrast in my millenium vs F 50mm 1.4 comparison for the far landscape photo. Suspected a selective cloud or something else.
Repeated the test today, lenses are focused on the center of the image at 1.4. threw a 55mm 1.2 at 1.4 in there as well, with old coatings too.
Also tested with heavy overcast, no sun and the lenses are more alike in those conditions, did not upload those.
Lenses have filters and shades, which were not on yesterday. These tests are fun although rather useless.
Lens name in the file, 100% in Flickr, and there is where you see the differences. The 55mm is a little better that the F 50mm, and the Millenium is much better at contrast and lack of haze.
A bit of trivia is that the 55mm 1.2 (at 1.4) and the Millennium 1.4 exposed at 1/6400, the F 50mm 1.4 at 1/5000 for identical histograms. The F 50mm has lower transmission.
