Do-it-yourself centering sanity check
#43
Hi guys, read about this centering test, bought Nikkor 20mm/f1.8 yesterday. Please can anybody experienced confirm to me that this 20mm lens at f1.8 (distances of all shots attached = from 1,2m to 2,5m) is centered well....? Or would you return this copy...?


When slowly focusing at the target at 100% Live View magnification, all edges seem to be getting sharp in even balance but the final shot (self timer, exposure delay of course) seems.... OK for such a wide angle? I read somewhere that it is much harder to center such wide angles well so is this acceptable in your opinion? What is the probability of getting the next "great" copy?


Thank you for your check.... I know I´m getting insane... but I'm also just curious ;-) :-)

 

 

p.s. the shots attached are cuts from 100% image magnification of a 12mpx image... The camera with lens was on a tripod of course but its position against the screen was just estimated at eye level. Hope the marginal possible user error is not critical for this test.
