Both at f/5.6 since that\'s where Lotus did his test.
Light coming from left, right, and on-camera ETTL.
These were converted from raw with Optics Pro, with absolutely NO sharpening & no other corrections, just in case that could affect things.
With one lens, there is a small piece of blue tape in the top-left corner, so there is no way I could mix up the jpegs, like someone else around here probably did. (I won\'t say WHO, though! )
note: The Makro shoots a hair closer. If the Planar is 50mm, the Makro must really be around 52mm. I did crop the Planar pics to match the Makro\'s, and again that\'s what you see here. I suppose this also gives a slight disadvantage to the Planar, but I believe it\'s insignificant re this test.

UPDATE: PICS DELETED DUE TO THIS BEING A LOUSY TEST AFTER ALL.

One last sad fact: My method for creating FM-sized pics is rather dismal, never giving good results, so the difference between the two lenses looks significantly less here.

So call one lens the blue lens, and one the yellow lens.
notes:
* The Planar metered the same as the Makro, , but actually needed one bump in shutter speed to match the Makro pic\'s brightness. Odd, but so that\'s what you\'re seeing here. Obviously it shouldn\'t affect anything in these tripod pics.
I NOTICED THAT BUMPING THE BRIGHTNESS LESSENED THE PLASTICITY. I\'m not sure how this fact affects the outcome, but probably not at all, since one would typically adjust shutter speed for the shot, not for the camera\'s meter-reading.
(but again I hedge my bets, as Sepaku sounds a bit painful. Besides, I just painted the floor!)
