Minoxar lens resolution

greenspun.com : LUSENET : AMPP : One Thread

I took a few frames of lens test chart with Minox GT-E, loaded with Agfa HDC 100 film. It was not an extensive test, as I only tested F8. A full test should cover from f2.8 to f16. Resolution of Minoxar MC lens = 82 lines pair per mm. This figure put the Minoxar lens at top rung of 35mm lenses; If Kodak techpan film was used, the resolution figure would be even higher. Micro Nikkor 55/2.8 resolves only 78 lpmm with finer test film(Modern Photography test )
