[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 633474, member: 11881"] If you feel it would be of value to you I certainly can. However, let me explain why I chose to do different lenses. 1. Because one is a crop and the other is full frame they are not using the same amount of glass. A lens generally has its best qualities at the center and degrade as you get further out. If I used the 50mm on both, the D500 will only being using the sharpest part of the lens thereby making it a sharper image. 2. I chose two different lenses that nearly match each other because as a photographer you would choose the lens you need for the job you need to do - in part that requires taking into consideration the crop vs full frame. On the lattice I photographed I placed two push pins in the upper corners of the shooting area with the leaf centered for focus. With a given standing point I would need a 35mm for a crop body and a 50mm on a full frame given a specific shooting environment. By using the 50mm on the crop I would have had to back up further allowing for additional light into the camera and a greater distance from the subject allowing for further degradation of the fine details. 3. There is no readily apparent difference in quality of glass between the two Nikon lenses used. 4. Aperture priority - This was again a choice of not wanting to cause a disparity between the results. A slight underexposure on either will cause a greater amount of grain. A well exposed image will minimize grain. My thinking is the best way to eliminate the human influence because both camera's are going to try to create the same histogram based on Nikon's programming. In the end the histogram were pretty identical. In the end, you could certainly make both arguments against different lenses and aperture priority. My explanation is that you can't readily compare two different size sensors with the same lenses. My approach would be the realistic approach a photographer would have to do in this given shooting scenario. [/QUOTE]
