--- Quote from: voltsandjolts on July 14, 2022, 10:42:33 am ---Isn't it harder to judge the quality of modern lenses, since much of the 'quality' comes from in-camera compensation, rather than outright optical quality? Whereas, when using older lenses you can be assured there are no hidden shenanigans. As long as you're happy with the result I guess it doesn't really matter :) --- End quote --- No. Modern lenses, even cheap ones, are great because we have better engineering and manufacturing than in the past. Modern optical design is computer aided, allowing the design of complex distortion-reduction aspherical designs, and modern manufacturing makes it possible to manufacture those affordably. Yes, many modern cameras (Nikon for sure) apply compensation, too, but they do that for old lenses, too!!! But the compensation is for things like pincushion distortion, lateral chromatic aberration, etc. It’s not improving the fundamental sharpness of the lens. |

--- Quote from: mawyatt on July 16, 2022, 06:39:45 pm ---Another important technology innovation that has been emerging over the past decade is the use of an Electronic Shutter/Curtain with CMOS sensors. We began following this when they were first introduced since some of our Stack & Stitch Chip images can take 20 sessions with each session having 200~400 individual images per session. That's a lot of shutter/curtain excursions to render one final large Gigapixel image, which could easily wear out the shutter mechanism. --- End quote --- What’s funny on the Nikon side is that they used to do that a lot more! My old D70s used a shutter curtain up to 1/250 (IIRC) and everything faster than that was electronic. (So it never did moving-slit exposure.) But it used a CCD image sensor, not CMOS. |
