Sounds perfect.
Try loading the whole file on Dropbox or somesuch, you can set up a free account in minutes.
Would you happen to have a shot taken with this lens? Maybe my expectations are too high. Is there another method to nail focus with a MF lens?
Thank you,
Terry

No, I don't.
I routinely use the Sigma 10-20mm in MF on APS-C, and its FoV when at the minimum focal length is the same as a 15mm lens on FF.
I rarely use hyperfocal since my copy has a weak-ish right side, so I have to be nearly at infinity, but that's not a big deal to me.

The other method is simply to focus on the subject of the picture

Ok, I have it in my album now. Please give me your thoughts. I don't see a sharp place on the entire image. Thanks.

As I said with the other picture, it's impossible to say at the small resolution the forum gallery allows.
It looks ok at this small resolution, but it's kinda meaningless.

Glad we were able to help I use only Irix UV/protection filter. I have not bought any filter system - it is big, cumbersome, and adds bulk to already large lens. Sorry, won't help you this time
pentageek,
Would you happen to have an image taken with the Irix 15? I am wanting to see something to compare mine to. Thank you.
