There is nothing in my view, which prevents publishing all four bars - unless each bar requires a significant amount of your work (as opossed to scripts extracting the figures from the imatest and producing the input data for the plot program).  Never played with imatest myselft so I don't know that one.

 

By the way, did you ever play with the 40 MP mode of the Oly E-M5ii?  Do you get similar to that Canon when using a top lens of that system?

 

+1 for including both Center and Near-center (off-center?) along with Corners....and dropping extreme corners.  

 

Always found the Extreme Corners mostly useless data but also misleading...as has been discussed periodically in these forums.  Extreme corners seems to be a legacy of testing FF coverage lenses on low-res APS-C sensors and trying to force data to find some minor differences among lens-sensor combos that all performed similarly.  Consequently, Extreme corner data is over-weighted at PZ.  

 

I've never had a photo where I ever needed any performance out of the extreme corner.  It's such a small area of the photo, but given far too much importance by PZ.  I always ignore the results from it.  

 

Meanwhile, there is no data from the truly important golden-ratio / rule-of-thirds parts of the frame.

 
Center / Off-Center / Corners provide much more useful spread of data across the frame.  Also avoids the perception of such extreme drop-off that you are currently getting with high-res sensors for Center / Corner / Extreme Corners.

 

Thanks for considering my input.
