Not really short, was it...!

If you mean that they should have omitted the variable diaphragm - that's exactly what they have done,  The new Canon 600mm and 800mm are fixed aperture lenses, that can only be shot at f/11.

I'm going to concentrate on the second image again (which is also the second image that you have re-posted above).  I disagree with your assessment - to me, the upper left and right corners are no ...

Let me ask you a question (you'll probably tell me off for "de-railing" another thread, but anyway...) - in the second of the two railroad images in your original post, how far from the camera was ...

A lens roadmap is not a commitment.  It's an outline plan.  Plans change, for many reasons. Maybe you should have "waited before buying into a new product line".

That rules me out, I'm afraid.  Sorry for being unable to "help"!

Thank you for the additional data point.

Here's the OP's original thread on this subject, with a train example.  I don't think anyone who responded felt the problem was field curvature.

That doesn't seem to be the same problem - she says her lens has field curvature at minimum focus, but is very good at distance - which is where you first saw the issue.

If you're only search for people that agree with you, that's what you'll find. Most people here try to keep an open mind...

What you said was: It was your use of the word "when" rather than "if" that led me to believe you thought expansion was inevitable. I would really like to see an evaluation done under controlled ...

I think the point here is that, because none of us can really see the "problem" as you're seeing it, there's no way that any of us can advise whether the Nikkor E or Tamron G2 might produce a ...

Yes, I suspect he's referring to Neutral (Picture Control, rather than profile).  If so, I wouldn't agree that it's the best setting when shooting JPEG's - it's generally recommended for images ...

No, not everybody else. Contrast what you said: "When one of those comes, the Z7 will be phased out and replaced" With this, from another poster earlier in the thread: "I don't personally see a lot ...

It's already possible to select an AF point by tapping the rear monitor screen.

It would help if we could see your test.  Without that, it's difficult to take this any further.

I agree.  The look of the example photos has very little to do with the choice of camera (or lens).

I did see the OP's other thread - he seems convinced that the problem is field curvature, but those who responded don't seem to think so.  I agree - I never saw a particular issue with field ...

Stop trying to backtrack. Everyone (if they are interested) can read what we both originally wrote. My point was only about how likely it is that a third-party battery fails and expands . You said ...

I think you mean "imaginary".  Something like the original Fuji X100 was quite an imaginative camera, but it was certainly real :-) Clearly you're just guessing, but you make it sound so definite.
