Well, there's a website, publicly available, where you can see some of the images I shot. Feel free to explore them. Most of my FB profile is public, too. Otherwise I stand by what I said: this is not about doing things right or wrong. It's about NOT telling others that what they're doing and works for them is wrong, just because it doesn't work for you. And I would honestly prefer if you stopped it now.

*Try for yourself: take the Z 7, put the focus point with the 85/1.8 @f/1.8 into center. Aim at a structure within a 1.5 m range. Recompose and bring the structure into one corner. Repeat that shot but this time move the AF-spot to this corner. Aim again and shoot. Now compare. Which is sharper? Not your recomposed, I bet.

Of course it isn't. Simple geometry. But why on earth would I want to shoot something wide open that close with 85mm?

Do the same at 500 mm @f/4 and 30 meters. Or 100 or 200 meters. Or with 400mm @f/6.3. Works perfectly fine.

Know your tools, know their limitations. And if necessary, work around them. It's as simple as that.

If you hadn't set the last blurb under your post, I would have stopped. Who's lecturing now? Who dares to imply I don't know my tools?

The website you're talking about is PZ's smugmug page, right? I'm not on FaceBook, but looking at all the super-static shots in the sample pictures I do not wonder why "in your photography you can rely on focus and recompose". I mentioned it a couple of times now, that this technique just doesn't work in dynamic situations - it also doesn't work when the object leaves the comparatively small region of focus points - talking about FF bodies. This region is limiting all the time, denying or ignoring it doesn't help. But feel free to go on with static shots and if you believe your technique is of any help with them, keep on thinking that way.
