"You know your lens is sharp when..."

[Romy Ocon]

There's a fun thread running at FM on this, let me quote the TS:

Hi, welcome to the "You know your lens is sharp when..." game! Haven't seen a thread similar to this yet.. If it is against any of the forum rules just let me know.

The objective of this thread is to post a statement indicating how sharp your Canon [Nikon] (or any third party) lens is. The statements can be factual or made up. No images please! I know a lot of you are pixel peepers so this thread is for you all.


Ref. - www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/753545/0




Considering that it's currently overcast/rainy over Metro Manila, looks like we can have some fun too. Photos are allowed to be posted this time. ;D

Let me fire the first salvo. ;D ;D




When you put a 2x TC on your long zoom, look at a 400% crop of the feather detail, and start to notice this interesting sequence.

Wooohaaa!! is that how the DNA sequence of the IBKF looks like!!! That's one really sharp lens!! Hehehehehe.

Here's how sharp mine is....when you stacked 2x and 1.4x TC on a sigma 150-500 @ 1400 mm and notice the insects hanging on the upper right of the owl is a male and the one at the bottom is a female.

Wow! DNA sequence can be seen. ;D Now who needs laboratories for DNA testing when the Master's lenses can reveal them.

I guess when the Master had had enough of those bird videography, his next venture will be DNA photography.

Mwuahaha.... when others are concerned on the IQ of the 150-500 OS at full zoom, Neon is stacking 2.8x worth of TCs on his!

My Photoshop's USM dialog gave me this... It's probably just a bug, though. ;D

DNA HD videography, Eric..... I might buy an adapter for reversing my Sigmonster, so next time I see Plain Idol, I can film her DNA. I've always wondered if bird magnetism is an acquired trait or genetic in nature. ;D

Nice!! You definitely have a sharp copy Mark!!! PS got injured!! Must be razor sharp Bwahahahaha!

[Romy Ocon]

Hehehe..... just a thought, when Mark sires some sons (new Mark models), he can name them Mark Mark II, Mark Mark III..... and so on.... the shorthand will be Mark² II, Mark ² III, etc. ;D

[Teddy Regpala]

I get cuts by just holding it. ;D

Hehehe. Interesting suggestion, Ka Mastah. I might just consider that... years from now... and then I can tell him his name is courtesy of the legendary Tamer of Sigmonster himself. ;D

… once-a-year I use the first canon issue EOS with my DIY rig that never fail to capture everything in sharp focus- from zero to infinity. So sharp you could actually shave your beard with.
