As for grays and tonality, it is difficult to judge. I tweaked the levels in PS so that the images would all look similar enough to compare general rendering properties at various apertures. I don't think this comparison and the process (scanning, adjustment etc.) can say much about the tonality or contrast of these lenses.

I just feel it produces smooth grey's and a nice range. There is an obvious difference between the Planer 45 G and the Hex and Planer 50 ZM. How do these all compare to a Leica 50?
