comparing ZOOM lens to normal primes isnt fair enough. since M9 only comes with their fixed lens.
how about comparing M9 7D D300s EP2 using Canon&Nikon normal 50mm f1.8?
willing to hear the updates!

It would be very interesting to some some images using the ‘cron on all of the camera bodies (via adapters) to compare the actual ability of the sensors & software. I know this is not a practical solution for every day shooting, but it certainly would show what each is capable of capturing with quality glass.

By the way, I love the concept of your “Crazy Comparisons”. It is both a “good read” and useful information.

Cheers!

JD, yes, its the same lens. I remember owning that lens with the D60. Didn’t care for it then either. The 50 1.8 was much better.

Do they still ship cams with that 28-135mm at Canons? I’m really surprised as well! Even back in the days of the 10D, that lens was… well, mediocre.. at best. It kinda ruined my experience with the rather good 20D.
You think your camera is disappointing, while it is the lens that is your eye on the picture

I think there is a little backfocus effect on the 7D image (the wall appears to be sharper than the vase).
The EP2 made a good piece of work!
I have tested EP1 and GH1 with the 7-14 Lumix lens. Comparing the same shots, the image from EP1 looks much more “natural” and is sharper (even on the edges).
Best regards!

Amazing how far the M9 is.

But I’m waiting for my E-P2 to get hot-rodded to remove the AAF, and then we shall see it come even closer

These really are fun. But let’s all keep in mind that there can be significant sample variation in lenses and bodies, including focus accuracy and registration. Yes, even brand new Leica bodies may need fine-tuning . It was not uncommon for really picky/serious dedicated Leica shooters to send in their new bodies with all their lenses to be calibrated together.

These conclusions (like any other lens test) only apply to these individual samples. And it should not shock anyone that a recently factory-adjusted body with a legendary, hand-crafted lens would show results far superior to mass produced off-the-shelf samples.
