Thank you so much, Carlos, for posting this – you're truly a font of wisdom &
information!
And the info is reassuring to me: My 2.8D is a Xenotar & my 3.5E & F are
Planars – which seem to be the best choices according to the tables.
I already knew the 3.5F was outstanding – my repair person said it was the
sharpest Planar he'd ever tested. (But maybe he says that to all the girls.)
Reassuring also about the Mutar: I'd tested mine with the same results – that
f11 is acceptable & f16 offers best performance – which usually requires a
tripod.
Their rating system sets a pretty low bar, but probably appropriate to the
range of lenses they were testing then. Ror the Mutars, for example, I would
have rated them Unacceptable until f8, which I believe was Rollei's recommended
largest aperture. The review might also have mentioned that you have to
increase the exposure a bit, because you're shooting through more
elements/surfaces.
I wonder if they ever tested the RolleiWide?
