At least whoever pays over the odds for the 200mm Macro knows that
he/she can always sell it again for £900 if he/she doesn't
like it

Yep! Greylags... not often you see them flying and unusual that
they visited your garden.
Possibly a colour temp. problem as well as the lens.
What lens is it? It needs setting to something other
than auto.... possibly Cloudy.

Welcome Clare.
Years ago (1975 - 1983 approx time frame) the British Journal of
Photography published a series about photography for scientific
purposes under street lighting etc. You might find it of interest
if you can track it down. About the only thing that I remember
from it was that the B&W photographs were quite useless as a
record of how good or bad the lighting was over the area.
In other words it wouldn't be acceptable for a lighting
contractor to show before and after pics in their advertising.
Opening or closing the lens by as much as half a stop made a
big difference to how the scene appeared.

And some CZ and Voigtlander lenses are Made in Japan by Cosina
Some Leica lenses were Made in Japan by Sigma and probably Minolta
as well as in Canada
I suppose I should have been more precise and said that
Schneider-Kreuznach are based in Bad Kreuznach, Germany
The Blue Rings says it all

I've never seen much point in comparing systems. They are all good and capable of producing top pictures. The only way to see if a system suits you is to try it. In the film days I had Pentax, Olympus, Canon, Bronica and Koni-Omega sytems plus Sinar 5x4..... I would happily use any of them again. The only one I'm sorry I never tried was Minolta
Still got the Bronica 6x6 and four Nikkor lenses plus the Koni-Omega 6x7
and an Oly and four lenses.
Always kept and came back to all the Pentax gear though going back to the 70's, but unlike a lot of people I always preferred the latest Pentax models over the old stuff.
