DxOMark introduces ‘Perceptual MPix’ score for lens sharpness

17 Dec

DxOMark has introduced a new metric of lens sharpness that it’s calling the ‘Perceptual MegaPixel’. This is designed to give a simple, easily-understandable indication of how a lens impacts on the resolution of the camera with which it’s paired. The measurement is based on standard MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) testing, but also takes into account the sensitivity of the human visual system to detail. The data can be explored over at the DxOMark website.

Nikon 70-210mm f/4 AF Lens Review and Recommendations

17 Dec

Please rate, subscribe, and comment, as this helps me to keep bringing you reviews. A quick review of the Nikon 70-210mm f/4 AF Lens made in the mid-1980’s. This lens received a rave review from Ken Rockwell and since has skyrocketed in price. I agree with what his review says in that this lens is not worth what some people are asking. I paid around 130 dollars from www.KEH.com and I’ve loved it for everything from sports to weddings and portraits. If you’re looking for super speedy autofocus, go for either the 80-200 AF-D f/4.5-5.6 or the 80-200mm AF-D 2.8 or any of the AF-S versions. They all autofocus faster, but only the AF-S and 2.8 AF-D are any sharper. This is an amazing lens for the price. If you have a D7000, D300, D300s, D700, D800, D800E, D3, D3s, D3x, or D4, you will get better performance than with an older body because you get some corrections built in to the camera you would otherwise have to do in post-processing. This enhances the sharpness a bit. I recommend this lens to anyone with a semi-professional or professional body, because anything else either will barely autofocus or it won’t at all with this lens. The quality is superb and the photos this lens is capable of will amaze you, provided you have the right training. Visit www.KEH.com to check out this lens, as they usually have a few in stock. Visit www.JNPhoto.biz to see many examples of photos taken by this and my other lenses on both newer and older cameras. Expect some more lens and gear reviews
