Another shot(nothing special, just a test) with my MIR20N 20/3.5 @f16
Sharpness & CA is better when stopped down, but CA is still there, but correctable now,
The iris is bugging me, with it's one late to the party blades, I'm not sure how I'm going to fix it yet,
maybe make an iris disk at a permanent size, f8-f11.

That's some nice color, and a bit of pop too.

I think I'm liking my 44-2 more than my C/Y 50/1.7 at most distances,
I'm going to have to do some comparisons to see if I should keep the C/Y in my kit.

Just received the Mir-24N today and shot with it at lunch. So far I'm really impressed with the sharpness wide open. Can't wait to get home and develop some shots this evening.

Are the airborne birds here real or a post process ad-on? They don't seem consistently lit in the scene and lack both detail and blur...hard to do.

Just curious,

The birds were in the scene, sadly the lens is not that great and even worse in the corners, made worse because it was shot near wide open, it was my first day with that lens so I was testing it at all f-stops.
The only things I did was a bump in contrast & saturation, some sharpening, and some CA correction, I will probably reprocess this shot again as I was not happy with the outcome.
I was aimed in that direction for the ducks in the bottom corner, I then seen the 3 ducks flying towards me in the top corner, so I rushed to focus on them, composed and snapped the shot. iso100, 1/400.

Thanks for the description. I wasn't trying to knock the photo, it has just been a curiosity dice I first saw it several weeks (?) ago.
