Thanks Chuck,
Thank Dr. Diffraction for requesting the test and please ask him which
is which. I suppose it is actually immaterial.
Great test, one of my favorites.
Mike
Ah, yes, the giant dust spec test.
<http://www.chucknorcutt.com/dust%20spec%20test/index.htm>
Both of these shots were taken with an A1 which has a front element
approximately the size of a Zuiko 50/1.8. One shot was taken normally.
The other is the same except that there is a piece of black
electrical tape approximately 3/4" square (19mm) stuck on the front
element. Since the front element is about 40mm in diameter the tape
was
blocking about 29% of the glass area.
The third shot is a comparison of the 1:1 pixel level detail from both
images. Can you tell which one is which?
Yes, I did perform the test but at the request of Dr. Diffraction. Dr.
Focus said he didn't expect any impacts in his domain.
