I re-shot this using a 2x magnifier. The focus was on the shingle just in front of the lower pipe of the pair of black vent pipes. The light has changed a lot so you can't really compare to the first shots. It does look as though the focus was off. Here's a very large crop (1971x1302, 492KB) of the scene. What do you think? Can viewfinder focus lie with one lens but not another? DA 16-45/4 set to 28mm. 1/4000th at f:4.0, ISO 200, solid tripod, 2sec mirror prefire.
Bad DA? I'm just nuts? Blind? Go buy a P&S? What? http://www.donsauction.com/pdml/28_3.5/16_45.jpg Don BTW: I also let the D autofocus, that was WAY off, even set to spot. > -----Original Message----- > From: Don Sanderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 11:44 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: The Lowley SMCP-M 28/3.5 > > > OK Herb, you've got me all worried now! :-/ > Anyone? > Do you have a DA and a roof about 75 feet away you can > duplicate this test on? > I gave all my camera settings in the original post. > You can see the full sun shadow in the pic for direction. > > TIA > Don > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Herb Chong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 11:28 AM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: The Lowley SMCP-M 28/3.5 > > > > > > looking at the results, i would say that is exactly what > > happened. mine is a > > lot sharper than that. > > > > Herb... > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "frank theriault" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[email protected]> > > Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 12:20 PM > > Subject: Re: The Lowley SMCP-M 28/3.5 > > > > > > > Looks like the zoom isn't focused.
