And sharpness....
This is for fun. I shot this scene at several apertures, focusing each time on the buds on the upper right. The first picture is the full frame showing depth of field, the second is a 100% detail.
First up: f/1.4
and the detail:
I managed to shoot past f/2 and go right to f/2.8.
So it goes:
The full image:
And the detail:
Here's f/4:
and the detail:
It just gets better at 5.6:
The detail is exciting:
I'm on tthe fence about it's best aperture. It's either 5.6or 8
This is f/8:
and the detail shot:
And finally, f/11. There wasn't much to say between 11 and 16, so I omitted the f/16 images.
and the detail:
I'm having a really hard time finding anything to fault with the Fat Fifty, though a quirk I have noticed is it seems to change focus slightly as the aperture is changed. I've heard of this sort of thing happening, but I had never seen it.
