there's no such thing as "lenses in general". the best MF lenses are every bit as good as the best 35mm lenses (although more expensive). it's all a question of "bang for a buck" -- where the larger formats will probably loose.
btw, P645 A300/4 ED IF *is* better than any pentax A-lens (non-macro) of a comparable FL. i know since i compared myself Zeiss 180/4 sonnar is every bit as good as *any* 35mm lens in 100mm range. I don't even mention superachromats. The test site quoted doesn't have many modern MF lens tested. But even an old Rolleiflex there has numbers that would make many 35mm lenses envious. best, mishka On 12/11/06, Adam Maas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > By and large, jco is correct.
