Sorry, Jerry, forgot the smiley - I wasn't trying to be that rude!
However, I think it's the first time I've heard that view advanced. I've not
really shot on a Tessar-lensed 35 - both of mine have Sonnars - but I guess
that if you stop down to f8, a normal enough practice on a 35, there probably
isn't a lot of difference. I have to say that I like the performance of the
Sonnar very much indeed, but I know from my 'Flex Ts that the Tessar can be an
exceptionally competant lens.

I stand corrected Nick as I meant to write Rollei 35s . But, the sonnar is
still little better than the tessar for general photography. Some have argued
that unit focusing (35s) is better than front element lens focusing (35) and
perhaps this accounts for the sonnar's better closeup performance.
