Guess that lens!

[tybeck]

A little quiz. Pick the photo that came from which lens. Both shows were taken at the f/4.0 1/50. One lens it a Pentax A 100mm /4 Macro and the other a Vivitar 105mm /2.5 Macro. No PP, straight JPEGs from a K10D. Tripod and remote used. Click to enlarge. My basil plant died, so sage will have to do.

#1

#2

viv 105 is #2

[DJey]

same here.. Viv is #2..

[k100d]

can't tell...
the focus points are slightly different
for example the yellow flower bud is blurry in the second

I'll go with #1 is Vivitar 105mm but you forgot to set the white balance to tungsten . Without 100% crops, identical focus and proper white balance it's hard to tell. Even then, I might be at a loss!

[TomInJax]

Judging from the background size, my guess would be the Viv 105 was used to take #1. Otherwise, I will agree with cmv. Without 100% crops - it is almost impossible to tell which is which.

VIV is #1 for me.

[lbam]

My guess is its neither, and maybe a Tamron 70-300 or something...

[Peter Zack]

ok, time to award the prize...

[Raybo]

I don't think anyone can really tell................not me at least!

Both are really good lenses and the compairasion is not fair, GIVE IT UP!

Vivitar is #1? (no pun intended)

[lbam]

Actually, that background looks a little too out of focus for my first guess...

[Buddha Jones]

I think homeslice forgot he made this post and we will be left here w/o an answer forever.

Viv is #2- it has a slightly warmer color tone.
