There are plenty of German photos online

but no matter how big they are they are nowhere near the resolution of an original. I know the online photos look ok but at 400% magnification they show the pixels. Only a high res copy of a (section) of an original will work.
I use F35/30,000ft as this is roughly a 1:10,000 map scale. I am not after a scientific answer just want to make a visual comparison.
Low level and Obliques are (i know) more or less the same for both sides.
I guess I just want an answer to the claims made for German lenses at the higher levels .

Some users of Zeiss lenses are so enthusiastic about these optics that they believe Carl Zeiss can do wonders. Well, this is not exactly true. The fact is: Carl Zeiss has to adhere to nature's laws just as anybody else. So far, Carl Zeiss's physicists have found no way around it.
