I hope this post keeps this open. I did lens testing about 4 different days over the week before Christmas. I attached over 40 different lenses with L39, M42, Exakta, Hexagon, adapters to my Sony a6000. I shot the same time of day at a neighbor home 1200 feet away and with a prominent house measured 3.4 miles distant. I would say 9 lenses were exceptional. The only zoom was my Osawa 35-105. It clearly went into the best list at 50-70-85-and 105 categories. Showed 5 foot wide windows on that house. It went up against some $700 lenses such as an R1 P.Angenieux , Zeiss Trioplan 100, Jena 135, Domiron, L39 Canon 85.
Looking at chimney bricks and distant home windows above chimney.
