I admit that I have not tested them at 1:2, I only test them at 1m and a
distant target. Anyway I think you and Larry's sample must be a special one
:-) Photodo also report the Tokina is the best 90 but I really doubt, on the
other hand I agree the Tokina also gives excellent result if you look at it
alone.

Following are two test slides if you anyone interested, you may see some
different in OOF effect too:

Film: Velvia,
Camera: OM4
Tripod: Gitzo 1228 with Velbon 263 ball head
Scanner: Nikon LS4000 at 3000dip

Each file around 1.6MB, you should download them and view with your photo
editing software.
