Just to understand (field curvature and other stuff...)
#16
Quote:They then will get substandard results (much like hyper focal distance adepts). The question was if any camera can compensate for field curvature of the lens, and the question then still must be a no. A camera user can do whatever he/she pleases, of course...
 

Why necessarily substandard? I'm just speculating, of course, but if I think e.g. of a 16MP sensor and a lens with high center sharpness, couldn't the perfect center focus spot over-resolve the sensor? In this case, a slight back- or front-focusing perhaps wouldn't degrade the center performance.

 

"Compensate" is probably an inappropriate word. I could rephrase with "mitigate".
