Is the Neo-Noct a sharp lens?
Discussion with Paco on the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G started here:
http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,6481.msg104660.html#msg104660referenced was attachment one, the edited full size downscaled version
second attachment here is the unedited result from the camera (100%)
third file here (too large)
http://fotokontext.de/temp/QRS_2409_ooc_100percent_sharpening.jpg is the same picture, sharpened with 1.3 radius and 500 strength, which does not seem to be too much in this case (100%)
I would describe the results of the lens at f/1.4 as:
"detailed & dreamy & of special character like the ones of the 1.2/50 or 1.4/35, also strong characters but different ones."
, the term "sharp" does not come to mind.
Questions:
Is this the way the lens should be?
Do we see sample variation here / in general?
Do I need to calibrate the lens for my D500/D850 pair?
