Originally posted by Rondec I think when you "test" lenses, you often end up with photos like these. There are plenty of other photos within this thread that are really nice. These ones give ideas of the rendering, contrast and sharpness of these different lenses and that is useful. Obviously it isn't just those factors that will decide whether or a photo merits re-viewing, but I do like it when folks shoot the same image with different lenses -- even if the scene isn't the most amazing one. So often, with really nice photos what you see is more a reflection on the skill of the photographer than the lens used and it is harder to evaluate glass in those situations.
Would be interresting then in theses examples to add a compact camera or even a good smartphone like an iphone6S and see how different our fancy DSLR look like on a landscape, 1024 pixel wide, iso 100.
I mean I would agree on bokeh, a quite high iso picture, something that would show different color rendering, so you would see actually something.
Here I can't see anything different. The poster say there is, but if we can't see it, well it could have posted no picture expect if his point was more really to show there nothing really relevant. But to say that, I think I would need a 100% crop or at least a picture in high enough resolution like 8MP.
