Tried out the 55mm digitar lens on the Horseman with a Leaf Aptus 75s. The files were processed in LC11 with sharpening set to 0, taken at ISO 100. These are 100% crops


f4.5


f5.6


f8.0


f11

Jim looks like F11 is optimum and is starting to go at F22 but F16 still looks real good . Hard to tell between F11 and F16 though which is better . Leaning at F11 myself

Hi Jim,

I am using an Alpa with the 24, 35, 47, 72, and 100 digitars. I find that F11 is generally optimal but I often stop down more. With the 47 and 35 lenses the outside of the image will improve with more f stop. When shooting a high rise I will often shoot at 22 so that the top of the building will improve a little in sharpness while the center of the image circle will suffer a little in sharpness. In the end, the apparent sharpness of the image will be more uniform from top to bottom.

These were taken on center. when i have time i'll take a look at the outer area as well. I'm also testing the 135mm
