Next PZ lens test report: Nikkor AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR (DX) - mst - 06-03-2011 Still quite good (especially for the price), but struggles with the higher resolution of the D7000 sensor towards the borders. http://www.opticallimits.com/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests/632-nikkor18553556vr -- Markus Next PZ lens test report: Nikkor AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR (DX) - Guest - 06-03-2011 [quote name='mst' timestamp='1307105140' post='9014'] Still quite good (especially for the price), but struggles with the higher resolution of the D7000 sensor towards the borders. http://www.opticallimits.com/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests/632-nikkor18553556vr -- Markus [/quote] Another nice review, thanks... Typo (I think) word 'haptics' right at the end - unsure what that is 'handicap' maybe.

Often you see ergonomics used on forums where haptic qualities are actually meant. Both are related, though.

Is that the same sample as measured on the D200? Numbers are always better than on the D200. So it seems there is still some benefit from the higher resolution sensor of the D7000, even with this simple lens. I think you forgot to link this one from the review overview page: http://www.opticallimits.com/Reviews/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests Best wishes Joachim Next PZ lens test report: Nikkor AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR (DX) - mst - 06-06-2011 [quote name='joachim' timestamp='1307201671' post='9028'] Is that the same sample as measured on the D200?[/quote] Yes.

Note that the charts are in Line widths per Picture Height, the latter being in pixels. So, with more pixels available, the results are expected to be higher (numerically).

I was keen to learn, what the effect of a poor lens and what the effect of the better sensor is. For many points, it just behaves as expected. Where the lens is poor, e.g. extreme boarder 18mm f/3.5 the higher resolution sensor only leads to a marginal boost of 100 lines per image height while where the lens was great, e.g. centre at 18mm f/3.5 we see a boost of about 600 lines per image height. This is essentially what I expected, if the lens is limiting, the better sensor doesn't help. Thought there are a few very interesting (unexpected) results:
Thanks for reading Joachim PS: A refresh helped the link, so that is sorted. |
