24-70mm f2.8 OS Art on SD1 Merrill
2

It looks like the new Art lenses might work well on a Merrill camera. Mine seems to be focusing pretty well. Here are some samples (processed from raw files with SPP 6.7.3):

I didn't bother editing the middle one to remove the spots in the sky. I figured it was no big deal. At some point I will finally remove my IR-blocking filter, and then I'll clean the sensor.

One thing I noticed was that there sometimes seems to be a lot of CA, and other times there doesn't, and even with the fact that it's a newer Art lens, the focusing isn't always spot on. I did get a few shots that were back-focused, even though all I was doing was shooting houses (not stuff like flowers or small things), which the camera could not have been "seeing past" to focus on something a few yards more distant.

No more Quattro, so no more OOC jpegs from me . . . for now.
