[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 302030, member: 15302"] Four shots from four different lenses: two primes and two zooms. In no particular order, they are Nikon 28-105mm 3.5-4.5D AF (paid $120 used) Nikon 105mm 2.8 G ED AF-S VR (paid $500 used) Nikon 105mm 2.5 (old manual lens, paid $75 used) Sigma 70-300mm 4-5.6 AF (bought new, right now about $150 online) Sorry for the big file sizes, but it would be great if you would tell me what you think is the best of these four pictures. They were all shot at f5.6 at 1250 shutter speed. The EXIF data has been stripped out, and the photos are not in the order listed above (or maybe they are??). Each shot is a crop from the original full sized file, resized for 72 ppi. I should figure out a better way to let you see the full-sized original file. (Hate to admit this, but I had turned off RAW last night to do a few HDR shots, and forgot to turn RAW back on before the test.) Shot on a tripod, VR turned off (on that lens), all filters removed. Nikon D600 body. You can right click each photo, and choose "Open in New Tab/Window" to see the image bigger than the window viewer. Please tell me which image you think is best overall, or which one has the best color, clarity, contrast, bokeh, etc. I will be honest and say I see little difference on my big HD TV monitor.
