Re: Best demo of the differences

Whether or not the colors in this photo were helped by the lens I don't know.  However, you are absolutely right about the effect of lenses on the colors and even color balance.  I did a test with my 50- 58mm lenses, My Fuji baseline was the 18-55 @ 50 and the 55-200 @55. I also tested my Canon EF 24-70 @ 50 and my Canon "Nifty Fifty".

I used a fixed daylight WB and there was variation in color especially with my DR Summicron and my Canon FL 58mm f1.2. The Canon FD 50mm lenses (1.8, 1.4, Macro) were pretty consistent.

There was lots of variation in sharpness, CA, contrast, etc. wide open, but all were very good to excellent stopped down to f4-5.6. The two winners of wide open sharpness was the Canon FD 50mm f1.4  with a surprising runner up, the FL 50mm f1.8 which I bought at a charity sale for $10.00.
