In an earlier post you said that the Nikon results were in one area different from the Canon results, when a member was pointed to the Canon FF test to know how well the lens would do on FF.



I have studied them for about 5 minutes, but can not find that area! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Tongue' />

Well, yes <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' /> The area is MTF, but a careful retest on the D3x closed the gap a little.



You can still spot that the borders and corners reach their peak values on the D3x at f/8, while on the 5D II the peaks are at f/5.6. In addition, the MTF "curve" for borders and corners is rather flat compared to the values in the Canon test.
