...at that time, Minolta optics always performed well, seemed better color balanced than the Pentax products which seemed to render colors a bit green & Olympus which seemed a little blue. The Nikon ED glass is really close to neutral while the M series glass is, of course, slightly warm...You actually judged the lenses by their colors? This is so funny!!! The chomical aberrations taken out of context are SO irrelevant! (Very similar to the distortions of amplifier) Besides, how were you able to tell about it in the photo-store conditions? Did you have an optical bench along with a spectral analyzer in the store? I hope you did not mage you decisions just by looking at the print? Well you might conclude something even form the prints as well but it would require an analyses of a huge amount of data, superbly calibrated processes (which never happen) and totally different methods or research and interpret to result (that I am sure you did not use because it is VERY expensive) Sorry, xenon, I am not knocking at your door but actually it was unarguably the fannies judgment I even heard.
