Great review...snipped this...

Thanks for the review, it's actually quite direct and informative, but it unfortunately (for Canon) made me realize that I wouldn't want either of these lenses. And while it's no surprise that my 50mm Summicron (Leica f2.0) is far better (yes, at 3 x the price) it does seem odd that, based on the images shown, my 25 year old Pentax SMC 50mm also out performs them (at least with respect to flare resistance, distortion and bokeh).

...end of snip. from a 50mm Pentax SMC owner ($40).
