Widest Aperture, F8, and smallest aperture again.
This time I have tweaked exposures here and there to get \"best fit\". Part of the problem is that the Zuiko has a lower contrast than the ZE and Tokina, so if I get the fgnd stone as close as possible, the backgrounds look different. As I say this is the closest I can get it overall, by eye.
Focussed on the base of the front grey petal where it starts to turn purple....again slight difference as I focussed the OM a few mm further in.
A change in colour temp at this closer focus. Now the Zuiko looks coolest.
I suppose I really should have set colour temp instead of using AWB (?)
My impression again is how similar they are, rather than any outstanding differences. Lovely smooth bcknds, though the F2.8 difference with the Tokina really shows here, even though it is still smooth.
I need to shoot a sequence with multiple highlights oof to see the difference in specular bokeh (if I\'ve got the terminology right?) I didn\'t find anything suitable when I shot these.
ZE F2 Greater depth of field @f2 than the Zuiko, I AM surprised!
OM F2 I\'m surprised at how clear the Iris is...clearer than the ZE?
Tok F2.8
ZE F8 Here the ZE looks clearer and sharper.
OM F8 Here the low contrast of the OM is most apparent.
Tok F8
ZE F22 I think the diffraction effect is greater with the ZE (more veiled, especially in the background) than with the Zuiko or even the Tokina at F32.
