I do quite a bit of macro photography while hiking, where you want to hold the camera low to the ground and take photos of something quite small and near. At close focus distances camera shake...

The Exposure Latitude results are really impressive 😳

Yes, it is the lens.
The only case in which you can sometimes notice patterns from the AF pixels would be with heavy lens flare where you have multiple reflections between the sensor and the lens'...

@Impulses it doesn't

There are lots of really good mirrorless lenses with great bokeh, including wide angle lenses, such as Sony's 24mm f/1.4, or the Fujifilm 16mm f/1.4
This one just doesn't have very good bokeh.

The rendering of the OOF areas in the background is not among of the smoothest...

Are you sure this photo is shot at f/4? The OOF highlights look polygonal...

You can buy this stuff on eBay second hand, especially the macro lens. There are excellent manual focus macro lenses from the 80s that can be had for ~$50 (I have been using the Canon FD 50mm...

Nowadays I only digitize negative and slide film with my digital camera, using Nikon's ES-2 Film Digitizing Adapter Set. It works *way* better than any scanner out there.

Dynamic range is...

So, this is really a 12MP sensor then :)

I don't mean to be a killjoy here, but the way OOF highlights are rendered at f/4 is far from spectacular, especially at the longer end.

Same messy oof highlights, less distracting in this image though. Looks like a zoom from the 80's.

The out of focus areas are kind of messy in this photo, mostly in the highlights.

This might be so much more useful if it was accessible through google books. As is it is pretty much unsearchable and really hard to browse...

Yes, and also the power budget, battery life is already a big issue in mirrorless cameras, if you had to perform a whole bunch of computation at every frame captured, the power issue would be even...

Lol, you overestimate "their masters". These algorithms are really complex and highly tuned to the hardware they run on, porting them to a different platform might be just more difficult than...

Continued from previous

The current generation of mirrorless or DSLR cameras has no GPU at all and has much less CPU computing capability than any modern mobile device. I strongly doubt that any...

Having worked on some computational photography aspects of the iPhone for several years (2011 to 2016) I have a few remarks for Jordan.

The issue with computational photography is computation:...

Is this the new sample? At 5.6 I would have expected the edges to be sharper than this...
Is this the nature of the beast for a lens this wide?

Right? ;P
