Nice Don.
The dialed to eleven version is not my cup o' tea, but its a gorgeous car.
I believe one you photographed is a '52 however. The '53 '54 are a
bit more rounded.

As a curious (perhaps pointless) counter-example: I've got some

I never really spent too much time worrying about researching the
sweet spot. I just chose the aperture that gave me the DoF I wanted.
That said, with the D800's stupidly high resolution, it really pays to
hit the sweet spot.

In theory a perfect lens would be sharpest wide open, so a really good lens
would be sharpest close to wide open. If it takes 4 or 5 stops to sharpen up
a lens, its probably not that great. As for good rules of thumb, I find f5.6
or f8 to usually work pretty damn good

The optimum aperture does make a noticeable difference in sharpness with most
good glass, but using it shouldn't overrule your DOF needs. With the K-5, you
can set your program mode to choose the MTF aperture when you push the green
button. On the new DA* zooms, it comes early -- f4 in many

Don't forget that at about f8 diffraction effects will begin to rear
it's ugly head. So if your maximum aperture is 4.0 diffraction will
start to steal sharpness using that two stops down rule of thumb. It's
worse the shorter the lens gets as the actual physical aperture is what
controls
Yeah. Flowers.

I personally know by memory for the prime lenses I used the most, and
