[QUOTE="aroy, post: 436055, member: 16090"] A lens with good contrast, will in general, be sharper compared to an average lens. I have two lenses to compare - 105mm F2.8 AIS and the kit 18-55 VR-II. The former lens has pretty average contrast and I have to really work on the images in post. In contrast the kit zoom has much better contrast, and I rarely need to adjust it in post. What would I prefer? Unless the lens with excellent contrast costs an arm and a leg ( e.g. Zeiss 135mm F2), I would prefer (and buy) a lens with better contrast. Another thing to consider is the work flow of those who shoot 1000+ shots per session - Weddings & Sports comes to my mind. They mostly shoot jpeg and for them post is not a very attractive option. A better lens = better jpeg = shorter turn around time. [/QUOTE]
