RE: DOF Illustration




I give 'Rockwell' an OK. He doesnt' wind my clock and his impressions are not backed up adequately.
My 1.8, for example, does manual focus quite well. I have my camera configured for 'back button' focus, so the shutter button is out of the equation. I can 'fine tune' the focus at will.

For lenses, I'm a fan of measured data. The only problem is one of sample variation. ONE tester, the guys at Lens Rental test 10 samples and give a range of results....and I think averages, too.
That is a VERY time consuming process so the number of lenses tested is limited.

I don't think the 'D' version of any nikon lens would work properly on my Mirrorless. I'll include one more shot....from a surfing competition down in town. A BIG one, at that, with professional LADY surfers from all over.

At the DXO site, the search engine is easy, so you may want to give it a go.
I'm also going to buy their Photolab 3 software and ditch photoshop which on the monthly installment plan is NOT in my future. My copy of CS4 is going away since it won't handle Nikon RAW files from the newer cameras.

Too much is never enough
