Originally posted by ruggiex Only thing I don't get about Tony is just that all he cares is sharpness and correctness of a lens so he's dead set on the notion that non digital optimized lenses aren't worth while. smh
i get that vibe from Jared Polin, but never from Tony.
Originally posted by Kunzite Tony N. is convinced its optical performance is behind that of the Canon's, which doesn't fit at all with Ephotozine's glowing review.
yes its behind, take the SMC Pentax-FA 50mm f/1.4 its max res on the k1 is about 3000 LW/PH @ f5.6 (as tested by Ephotozine)
the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 on a 5d mark2 hits 3700 LW/PH @ f4 and has much lower chromatic aberrations even from wide open
Originally posted by Rondec We'll see how DXO Mark test things
they have questionable testing methodologies especially when it comes to dynamic range of a camera
for a more accurate measurement of a cameras performance reviews that use XYLA-21 transmissive test and imatest software results are more representative of a camera actual imaging performance.
