Monthly summer Street Fest, after the rain. First outing ; - )

From the look of the aperture pin and mount thread...

Exactly. There is the problem, for example, of  comparing the edges and corners of an image taken with a flat field lens to that of a lens designed to use field curvature and using the results to ...

Companion to something posted a while back. Not exactly a landscape but in some respects, part of the landscape. The top down, taking it all in side of landscape. The owner didn't know what the ...

The thought is probably an anathema for Dave but it only took me twenty years to figure out that if I run out the door while it's still raining I can make the rainbow in the valley before it ...

You have a little more to work with than you might think, with jpg, without Lightroom ; - ) Olympus Viewer 2: E1, ZD 7-14, Viewer 2:

Target distance + lens point-of-focus + field curvature + aperture. (Probably should consider the possibility of focus shift as well.)

You would think. At least conventional wisdom would point to that. However, with a couple of lenses, I get better edge-to-edge sharpness (and rendering) if the point-of-focus is set to about 5m, ...

Thanks! Probably should have qualified that as 'pronounced' curvature. It seems to me that both the Batis and WATE have some curvature but at different distances (from point of focus) while the ...

Just curious, does the WATE exhibit field curvature? (Thanks for the comparisons btw)

I would hope not. For a weekly thread I would hope it's first about what people are doing, second what they're using. I mean, it is all about the doing isn't it? Until you pointed it out, I didn't ...

Another tweak:

Yup.

You may not get many responses but you will get the reads. Keep 'em coming ; - )

Back 'atcha, éh, êh ; - )

I've always heard it as eh. Not really eh! Actually more of a eh'? (?) ; - ) I may have to pull out some quilt show photos. And maybe a few Massey Fergusons.

There is no logic to ranting, it's just exercise. A feel-good for the ranter.
