Plus, the brick wall feels so good once you stop beating your head against it.

I think a brick wall would be a better subject. Objections? The
subject shouldn't matter as long as it is sharp. A static object makes
for the best test IMO.

Zos, eyebrows are my litmus test for system sharpness. Get a well-lit
headshot of somebody and examine their eyebrows. You should clearly
see the individual hairs. Any time I handhold to get such a shot the
eyebrows are invariably a gaussian smear. You cannot do clean
retouching of such images.

I can show you a 100% crop of my model's eyebrows from the last beauty
shots I took using a tripod with my K20D and DA* 50-135. Clear, sharp,
detailed. I defy you to get that clarity handheld, no matter the
shutter speed.


Let's make sure we're testing the same thing.  What percent of frame
should the person's head be?  Any other requirements?


Unless you're shooting for CSI, you want the person to have all of their
head.
