Ok, here\'s the reveal, and judging by all of your responses, there are going to be some quite shocked people. Having used these lenses a lot, I\'m not surprised at all by the results, but you might. The only surprise for me is the low resolution on Lens 3, since in every day use, it is VERY sharp...not as sharp as 1, 2 and 4, but very sharp.
As one has already guessed, 5 and 6 are not on equal footing....they were shot on my E-P1, and were shot, not at f/4, but at f/2 to give the same DOF...this is somewhat fair because none of the other lenses were stopped down more than a stop, and both of those lenses were down one stop, but it isn\'t the same aperture, but the results between 1-4 are very equal...same exposure, same aperture, same processing, same everything except the lens.
Lens #1 is the C/Y Zeiss 85mm f/2.8 Sonnar T* (at f/4)
Lens #2 is the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS (at 85mm, f/4...wide open)
Lens #3 is the C/Y Zeiss 28-85mm Vario-Sonnar f/3.3-4 T* (at 85mm, f/4..wide open)
Lens #4 is the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro (at f/4)
Lens #5 is the Voigtlander 40mm f/1.4 Nokton (at f/2 on the E-P1)
Lens #6 is the Minolta Rokkor 50mm f/1.4 (at f/2 on the E-P1).
Enjoy!
