Congrats to Mr. Fox for uncannily answering ALL OF THEM correctly.
Fantastic guessing indeed.
Biggest shock to me (besides Fox answering correctly off the first try
) was, even for me, the DA* 50-135 performing sharper than my prime 50 f/1.8 at f/4 aperture -- it really is a pocket full of primes.
Sharpest lens I own.
Next up is the DAL 18-55. My copy has no contact pins in it so I had to manually focus and green button to take a photo. Plus, at the time, I didn't realize it was incapable of reaching f/4-4.5 so it got stopped down a little more than the others.
I find the DA 18-135 did a nice job too at f/4.5 (fastest it will perform at ~50mm). It is a nicer lens than I probably have given credit to in the past.
Thank you to all who participated.
I hope you had fun as I did.
