anyone know of any good places to see f stop charts? not the technical charts but side by side pictures of lets say a 50mm f1.8 vs f1.4 or something? I'd like to see what a 50mm 1.2 and .4 looks like compared to my f/1.8
 
Is it just me, or (by the test site above) does the 100$ 50mm 1.8 seem to beat every mainstream lens out there (35mm's, kit lenses, Nikon's 50mm, ect ect)? Stop that thing down to 5.6 or so and it really seems like it's the sharpest lens around...

Holds true for every aperture!

Thing is though, on my 50mm 1.8, I get so much extreme color aberration it's unreal, mainly in out-of-focus areas. Sort of wish this kind of test was done too. But it's no denying that this 100$ lens seems to be the sharpest lens in the book at around 5.6. Seems to be the most "equal" lens too, showing the same sharpness in the corners and all.
