A lĂ AF105mm F2.8D macro ... stone age? ...... I prefer bronze age ..... as golden age is maybe pushing it .... đ
I know that 2006 is going back a little but actually the test is done on a 16 Mps D200, (do you remember we were touting 16 Mps as the sweet spot back then?) that's around 34 Mps (very approx) on a FF sensor .... that's a medium high pixel density by anyone's standards ..... as far as utube goes, interest in the lens still remains to this day ...... given the fact the review still exists and is already paid for, on line and is as far as I can find, the only remaining laboratory test of it in all the universe and beyond, albeit APSc, it seems a shame to leave it to gather dust in the "skeleton closet" .....
Here was your closing assessment of the lens:
"Optically it is a near-flawless lens with high resolution figures, low vignetting, low CAs and non-existent distortions. The mechanical quality is very high but it also feels a little dated here with its independent AF-MF switch. Typical for most macro lenses it also suffers from a relatively slow AF speed."
I know I sound like an anorak*....... but I own and like the AF105mm F2.8D micro
- "an anorak" is an English expert who harps on about pointless details and statistics ..... they are called that simply because they usually wear "green anoraks" ..... I don't however đ
