I have an experience similar to Lattie's:

I was testing a realist with Ilex Paragon lenses (supposedly very sharp)
and my TDC Colorist II.  I said to myself "Wow, this early Realist is 
worth EVERY PENNY of the $75 that I dumped into it!  The Ilex lenses are
really sharp."

Checking my ID of the film, turns out that these ultra sharp shots were
taken with the Colorist II (now Patrick's in Belgium).  I refused to
believe it.  Examination of the witness marks on the film, confirmed it.

Now, did I mention that I have another TDC Colorist II for sale? ;)
