Count me in as being surpised because that defies logic.

He he, if you want to look like the prime jerk on the web, be my guest I´m sorry, but i do not carry half the intellect to understand a quarter of your weird logic ...Andyx01 said:TWI by Dustin Abbott said:One thing that jumped out at me about Roger's new article RE: the 5Ds/5dsR was that fact that the Otus 85 outresolved the 300L by almost 24% in the center (on the 5D3).

Those who wanted to see some resolution numbers for an Otus on a high megapixel body should take a look at the numbers here.

So there you have it, the 300 f/2.8 IS II is 19% sharper in the corner, 5% sharper on average, and within 7% of the Otus in the center. It must be a truely artfull-er ... lens ... with even more beautiful drawing, and umm, It's probably got that magic stuff too.
I suppose if you stitch (16) 300mm 2.8 pictures together you end up with (1) 75mm f/0.75 composite.
Factor in a bit of overlap and you may end up at 85mm.
16 times the resolution of the Otus. not to mention at f/0.75 v.s. 2.8
Stop the otus down to 1.4 and now the differnece is presumably well over 16x in favor of the composite.
And I don't think anyone cares because who is going to seriously stitch 16 images together?
Back on topic - isn't the 55 sharper than the 85 though? For some reason I thought it was....
Thanks for the fence post Eldar - is that the 55mm OTUS? - It was interesting to see the amount of green in the background bokeh, v.s. purple in the foreground bokeh. I would have guessed this to have been from a different lens. That said; do the competing lenses look substantially worse under those conditions?
The amount of vignetting looks like what I would expect.
P.s. Anyone else notice the fly that happend to be right near the focus plane on the left side of the frame?

Pick my 5DsR up later today, intend to test the 300f/2.8 II & Otus 55 & 85 asap.

If you can do a comparison between the two Otus for the same subject then that would be great.

And remember Eldar, all comments in this thread regards the Otus 55/85 made by "Andyx01" are based on supposition, guesswork & quite possibly, envy, I come to this conclusion based on the following extracts from the comments made by "Andyx01", "I suppose", "may end up with", "presumably", "I thought it was", "I would have Guessed".
Safe to ignore.

Gary,gary samples said:can some one please give me some schooling on focus screen replacements for my 5ds
do they make one that will work for the Otus & my canon lens
I see canon says
(fixed) on the screen Thanks'

You'll find some info on this thread. The focusing screen on the 5DS/5DSR is not the same as the 5DIII, as is explained in the thread. I have contacted www.focusingscreen.com and asked if they will make an S-type screen (I have theirs S-screen for the 5DIII). No reply yet.
