Handheld Resolution - Tiz - 02-14-2012 @photozone team I am just wondering whether you have ever made a handheld shot of your usual resolution test target and, if yes, whether the difference in resolution between a handheld shot and a tripod mounted shot is significant. For instance, if the tested center resolution of a mFT lens is 2500lp, what would be the resolution of a handheld shot? I understand that a difference of 200lp is still barely visible. Background of my question: I would like to figure out how important the lens resolution is in real life where I mostly make handheld shots. Thanks! Handheld Resolution - miro - 02-14-2012 Good question. I cannot give you a answer because I'm one of the few member here who shoot at tripod and most likely at maual focus and IS/VR switched off. I also wonder what's going on when you switch on all features like - IS, AF and shoot handheld.

Would be a nice "feature article" IMHO. Not a "per lens" test to be repeated though. Handheld Resolution - Brightcolours - 02-14-2012 I don't get it... You are adding unsharpness, it is not one source of unsharpness masking the other. So... If you have not such a sharp lens, and add a small amount of movement unsharpness, you get an less sharp image than when you have used a sharper lens. Handheld Resolution - arvydas - 02-14-2012 It would be like a competition, who's hands are more shaky <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> . IMO it's like rolling a die and guessing the results - sometimes you will (like similar but not better results from test in controlled environment), but in most cases you will not (motion and out-of-focus blur, that will vary from shot to shot).
