Hi Guys,
My D800 arrived yesterday, after reading a lot of reviews and recommendations, I ordered the three f/1.8 primes (28, 50, 85) to go along with it, and thought Hey, this is winner combination for quality and value. Value? More like a bargain if the lenses are what people are saying.
However I wanted to test everything out against some test charts (results of which I will not be posting), but shooting wide opening, with the 50mm f1.8G only the inner third is sharp, the rest is soft and what I am seeing overall is a lot of fringing/aberrations, or undesired color effects which spoil the image.
I am not impressed! Is anyone else seeing this? Anyone else feel the f1.8G trinity when subjected to testing fails them! I know real world example show varied results.
But anyways....
Thanks
Po
