How sharp is your normal lens for MF

[Guy Mancuso]

Just going through some older shots in C1 and ran across this image and realized how darn good the 80D really is. No special sharpening except my base pre sharpening 1 but for a standard lens this is damn good . Shot at ISO 100 1/4 of a second at F11. No hurry to change to the LS lens for this focal length. I think the 55 and 110 LS would serve me better than the 80mm with the leaf shutter

Guy,

Mine is sharper than yours! :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL:

Actually, all joking aside, most of my newest Phase/Mamiya glass is *really* excellent.

Here is a 100% crop from the 45 AF-D, full image then crop:

Here is a full and crop from my worst lens, the Phase 28:

Shot at ISO 100 1/4 of a second at F11

is there a MF lens that is not good at f11?
what about wide open or f4?

This is the Rollei 80mm f2.8 at f16. Full frame then 100% crop:

100% crop of a street scene, Schneider 60 mm, 200 ISO, dp20.

here is a scene I did a while ago, handheld 2.0 to 5.6, I cropped the lower center where the focus was (not much at 2.0 at this distance, maybe 1/4 inch.

 

[gogopix]

it is Contax 80mm on a P65+ so a lot larger than others at 100%

2.0
2.8
4.0
5.6

[gogopix]

Found a capture with the Contax 2/80 on P45 shot wide open.
Boring image (one of the scenes I shoot when I adjust my split image screen) however it shows what the lens is capable of. Given the distance (~5meters) and f2.0 I find that quite remarkable. Of course it's getting better at f2.8 ...

Ah ok, i thought you didn't ask me!

The aperture used in that shot was f11 [not sure because i lost my file on my MBP which is not working at all].

OK, i found a converted file [DNG] of that shot, after i opened and checked i found that it is f11 as i said, just to make it sure, thanks!
