I'm enjoying this series of old vintage lenses as well.
Great idea and thanks for the tests, Klaus :-)
The IQ of this Nikkor, especially the sharpness at 42MP, is truly impressive!
When you see what this lens can manage in term of IQ with only 5 elements in 4 groups.
It makes one wonder why modern lenses couldn't be made with fewer elements, be smaller, lighter and cheaper, especially given the computer aid in lens designs!
What am I missing here?
I'd love to see smaller, less complexe designes while still offering descent IQ. Would that not be possible?
