I always learned that most lenses are best at mid-aperture. A lot of people
confuse the increased DOF with better lens performance...
There are a few lenses that are certainly not best 2-3 stops from max. The
first gneration Leitz Summacron 50/2 comes to mind (best at f/4) as does
the Cosina/Voigtlander 50/3.5 Heliar (best wide open!)
The 3,5 six element Planar on my 3,5F is best already at 5,6. Since razor
sharpness sometimes can destroy the mood in pictures, I recommend the
Rolleisoft filters. They are great! I have them for all bayonets (except IV
since I don't own a Wide) and also the push-ons for the early Rolleis.
