It's not my intention to restart the lingering debate/discussion over lens type and ensuing picture quality! ========================= Sam Thanks but I am only accumulating Zeiss numbers, as the Schneider numbers are more readily available and are more consistent than are the Zeiss number runs. There is no discernible distinction between the performance of a Zeiss and Schneider lens. Both are the best that could be made and, given the vagueries resulting from hand-assembling of optics, they perform quite on par with each other.
