I\'m puzzled by the 35/1.8G not giving enough resolution.
Could the V1 + adapter be using phase detect AF for the most part? Could there be any focusing accuracy issues that would not be found with a native lens for this format?
John,
I reserve the right to err, as I don\'t have had enough time with the setup. What was consistent with the images at f1.8 or f2, that they appear sharp from a focussing perspective, yet in 100% crops a haze covers the details. I have quite a few old lenses where this behavior comes up, when you gradually increase the resolution of the camera attached to it (i.e from a D1, to a D1x, to D2x to D7000).
Just one example (this is not the only one)
resized, ISO 125, f1.8, 1/125 sec
100% crop
I had only the AFS 35mm/1.8G with me when I picked up the FT1 adapter. Trying at home, the AFS 35mm/1.4G did not display this behavior. When I have time, I will look into this.
Bye,
Andy
