D60 straight test, bad glass v good glass

Go to last post
Burkina,

It's really hard to tell what's going on with the information you provided. Are you suggesting that these photo's were taken in manual mode with teh same ISO/Aperature/Speed and same focal length?

If so, it would probably be a reasonably good test of the difference in these lenses.

I would guess this is not what you did, but please feel free to provide the relevant data for these pics.

I'm sorry I can't stop laughing. Your two pictures are just like all the ads in the paper and magazines for a person slouching with a frown who needs to lose weight and the person standing straight and tall and smiling who has lost weight using a product. How did you get the dog to cooperate with you for the "bad" glass and the "good" glass. That's priceless. Thanks for making my day.

The captioning should be, "you dog will be happier when you take his picture with "good glass".

You should try this test with real "Good" L Glass

Yea, and he should probably buy a 1D to REALLY show how much better an "L" lens can do!!!!
ROFLMAO;-)

I'm wondering why the camera would have such different exposures for the two lenses. What exposure settings were used?

I'm thinking of buying a used D-30 now that the prices are coming down, but can't afford a L lens.

From what I can see, there is no difference besides slight underexposure for "bad glass", narrow DOF for the "good glass" and the mood of the dog who just loves Tokina. Everything else, including resolution, is the same. It would be nice if someone could post comparison between L and consumer glass at the same f-stop and focusing distance. Thanks for posting anyway. That was a good laugh!

Really funny.. this has to be the single worst comparison I've ever seen. Different exposures and worst still they both look as though they were shot at max. aperture... Oh, and no EXIF information and no original images.

Apart from that, priceless.

Go to my D30 galleries and you'll find LOTS of images taken with "normal" Canon glass.

Those images in the D30 gallaries are really amazing. I keep looking at them, especially Review Samples 2, though he didn't list the lens types with each photo.

Thinking about getting a cheap Canon 50mm for portraits and a low cost zoom for casual stuff. Though this lens comparison scared me for a few seconds and I've been looking at the histograms of the two dogs in Photoshop. Doesn't seem like the camera on AE could possible expose those two shots that differently. My Olympus P&S makes better exposed shots.

A recurring aspect of many maximum aperture comparisons is the predominance of maximum apertures.

My fault, I should have explained.
 
Hi.

Flame off ! They're just a straight forward comparison of two lenses at maximum aperature on a D60, approx ten seconds apart. One is horrible, the other acceptable.

In light of which, I suspect very little will really illuminate very much for you, my poor chap.

But do carry on....
