humm....did that wrong, can not add captions in the same post
Mostly M6 mk 2
These are sized down to 4x6 at 300 dpi for the forum.
Door Lock.
The idea was to check corner to corner sharpness, but the door is not really flat anyway and the plywood has gotten wet and warped, so not really a great spot to test, but wide open, very usable.
Espresso.
5000 iso, wide open, a little noisy but sharpness is fine. I don't love the way her face was rendered in teh background, but maybe I am asking too much for 400 bucks?
Old Age Home.
Shooting up this time, no corrections other than my shitty not straight horizon, did not distort the building anymore than expected.
shot wide ope at 2.8 so I could check sharpness corner to to corner. Not bad at all.
Old Lawyer, climbed a bench, shot down a little to see how the building would twist, not bad at all, no perspective corrections.
F4, sharp everywhere.
Tracey,
regular at the cafe I hang out at, the nicest person you could sit and chat with, cropped slightly.
2500 iso wide open (which was not really needed, I could have shot 640)
Overall for the money I am pleased, we will see what the auto focus is like in a club or in the streets at night, but it is small, light, fits in a jacket pocket and generally very sharp, and for newspapers and wire services will do the job until a solid 1.8 or f2 comes along.
