The first image is close focus with an early fast double gauss lens before lanthanum glass became popular: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Sago+frond+Minolta+58mm+f1_2.jpg.html This is from the Olympus 50mm f1.2 which is a much later design with improves glass types and coatings: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/Sago+as+blur+project.jpg.html Not strictly a fair comparison but this is from arguably the sharpest 40mm lens currently in production: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/distressed+century+plant+after+a+shower.jpg.html All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
