>>3973749Why do you say that? I've shot all kinds of equipment and can categorically say that sharp lenses are better on film exactly as they are on digi.
>muh microlenses/coverglass/emulsion depthNo.
In fact the advantages compound on film because there's no "ah I fucked up, let me retake that", just the results when you finally process. The sharper image wide open helps you focus accurately on the ground glass in a way that really isn't possible with slower or softer optics. The lower field curvature helps you get more consistent results when focusing in the centre. The better flare resistance helps focusing (and also results) when shooting against the light.
>>3973583Because it's better in so many ways than the other 50mm lenses available for a Nikon SLR; in addition to being sharper wide open.
>t. I own every single one In fact I also plan to get the Milvus 25mm and 85mm when I can afford them.
But yeah, microcontrast is a meme, a sharp image is a sharp image.
