next PZ lens test report: Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R
#1
Generally quite nice although the bokeh could be a little better at the image borders.

Hi Klaus,



the 2nd image on the introduction page seems odd.



BTW ... how do you like the Fuji ?

Uuups ...once more. [Image: blink.gif]



Actually I like it very much. The usage concept makes quite a bit of sense once you got used to it.

So what happens now; is this your new system/camera or do you move to ...

The center quality is breathtaking even at max. aperture whereas the outer image field is a bit soft here. From a real world perspective this is surely acceptable because you are rarely really after edge-to-edge sharpness when shooting at f/1.4.



That is true. However, if one regularly puts his subjects on side of the frame because of compositional reasons, he will want tack sharp corners.

Yes, it was bigger, heavier and more expensive so it's not really a surprise but once you got used to something good it's hard to go back.

The eye in your sample image is not merely touching our "border" definition ...

That's interesting. Would you consider this a frame center?

See here for a diagram showing where "border" and "corner" are defined.

Half way I'd say.
