... I remember doing this in the old days, like with this Citroën, photographed with the 50 Planar and the 50 Makro-Planar, I think both at f/2:
They don't appear to have been taken with the same aperture. The depth of field is quite different (it's much greater in the second image).
I don't recall if it was actually the same aperture, but the 50 Makro-Planar has significantly more depth of field at the same aperture, compared to the 50 Planar. I remember how I struggled with the 50MP because I was trying to get the same narrow depth of field as with the Planar, but I just couldn't. I have no idea what optical properties make this so, but ask anyone who has owned the 50MP, it has a fat band of in-focus compared to other lenses.
