No, not really. But from what I can see in the MTF charts, I\'m pretty sure I wouldn\'t like it for landscapes. (\"like\" in this case is a relative term)
What makes you say that ??
There are a couple of things that I want from a landscape lens:
1) Limited field curvature
2) Parallel sagittal and tangential lines (i.e. consistent blur & micro contrast regardless of direction)
3) High micro contrast in the fine detail (i.e 40 lp/mm).
The 35-70 @ 35mm doesn\'t qualify because of 2 & 3. The 35 Lux because of 1) and the 35/2 Distagon ZE because of 1, 2 & 3.
Luka ... I\'m with you on #2 very much, especially at 10 & 20 ... maybe a bit more lenient @ 40. Could you expand on #1 a bit re: mtf.
So what would be your top 3 choices for a FF EF mount (adaptable/convertible okay) for a 35mm landscape lens that meet your criteria ... i.e. no rangefinder glass.
