Re: The Lowley SMCP-M 28/3.5

[Paul Stenquist]

When i have a minute, I'll try a comparison of the K28/3.5 and the DA 
16-45. Although I know my K is extremely sharp, the DA is very close to 
its equal. I'm certain of that. But I'll try to verify it.

As I said to Frank I took several shots and picked the best.
Focus was on the lower pipe.
If I'd missed a bit it should be evident in the shingles.
I looked at the entire frame, nothing is very sharp.
At 28mm and focus near infinity, DOF should be quite deep,
even wide open.
There were objects in the frame from less than 15 feet all
the way out to near infinity. Something should be in focus.

happened. mine is a
lot sharper than that.

Looks like the zoom isn't focused.  I'm not saying that's what
happened, but that's how bad it looks.
