Below are the pics from some very controlled comparitive shooting I did with these two nice lenses. I shot each lens @ f4, f5.6, f8, & f11. I then took %100 crops of each shot. They are all in incandescent lighting, @ 100 iso. It was completely dark out, so each shot has equal lighting. All were shot Raw, with no post processing whasoever. Just resampling for forum. Focus is on center of glass leaf candle holder.
Since, for posting attachments, I am limited to 5 pics on each post, I will need to make 4, separate posts. Each post will have 4 shots, all @ same aperture: 2 of the Viv (resampled full size & %100 crop) & 2 of Pentax (resampled full size & %100 crop).
So, for example, my first post will have 4 shots @ f4--2 with each lens--a full size and a crop--here we go:
F4 @ .6 secs
