A range of general test shots are shown over the next two pages. In some cases, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it to show the overall image quality. Some other pictures may be clicked to view the original full-size image.

At last a sunny day for my test shots. I take this same shot with every camera I test. Click on the image to see it full size or look at the 100 percent crop below.





The Schneider-Kreuznach lens produces excellent pin-sharp detail, but there is some visible evidence of severe image compression.





The lens produces very little distortion at wide angle.





This crop from the above image shows that the sharpness extends almost right into the corner of the frame, but there is some purple fringing visible.

The huge zoom range is impressive, but the wide angel end is only equivalent to 36mm. 28mm would have been more useful.

With a telephoto end equivalent to 432mm, you can zoom right in on the details. This shot was taken from the same spot as the one above.
