Comparing back light performance.

Clearly the newer, more advanced coatings of the Nikkor-S•C have a real benefit. The image is much more contrasty, the Canon has a strong veil over the entire image.
The Nikkor has some funky flares going on, I find the flaring of the Canon more attractive (even if they are stronger, their shape is nicer).
Both lenses have real character.
