[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 335815, member: 15302"] The rain shot down my tennis match, so nothing to do tonight but mount the D600 on a tripod and shoot six different lenses at the same subject, all shooting at 50mm/5.6 with an SB-700 set to manual, so there should be no difference in exposure time, f-stop, or flash amount. These are crops from a small section in the middle of the picture. The books were at an angle to the camera, falling away. Though it is not obvious from the crop, the tiny picture of Bob Newhart was the focus subject for the auto-focus. These were not focused in Live View, because the whole point was to test IQ as I use these lenses, which is with AF or, in the case of the one manual focus lens, using the camera's round dot to confirm focus. VR on those lenses was turned off because of the tripod. The lenses, NOT in order of photos, were as follows: Sigma 24-70 2.8 EX DG at 50mm 5.6 Nikon 50mm 1.8 AF D at 5.6 Nikon 24-85G VR 3.5-4.5 at 50mm 5.6 Nikon 28-105D 3.5-4.5 at 50mm 5.6 Nikon 28-300 G ED VR 3.5-5.6 at 50mm 5.6 Nikon 50mm manual 1.4 at 5.6 Obviously, some lenses are front focusing, and some back focusing, so this was helpful to me to make fine-tuning adjustments this weekend. Now the pics: [ATTACH=CONFIG]102935._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]102936._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]102937._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]102938._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]102939._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]102940._xfImport[/ATTACH] So, watcha think? These tests usually convince me to just shoot what I have and don't buy more gear, but one of these lenses was just bought today! [/QUOTE]
