+1 @ sharpening jpgs algorithms ... i.e. no AA filter can better TOLERATE the extreme sharpening push because it is starting from a different place (kinda/sorta/loosely/bad analogy @ S/N floor).
+1 also @ f22 vs. f5.6.
For f22 vs. f22, the AA filter and lighting variance can make a diff.
So, even if the diff might seem subtle @ visual RAW observation ... the pp algorithms that follow take notice of where they are starting from. For me, this (no AA filter) is how you get your clarity ... not by slamming the clarity slider over to the right. My pp sharpening algorithms vary depending on whether I\'m shooting no AA or AA bodies.
Also, depending on the lighting for the image ... low contrast vs. high contrast ... the impact of diffraction can either be amplified (lowered contrast @ diffraction + low contrast lighting) or mitigated (lowered contrast @ diffraction + higher contrast lighting).
So while f22 does induce more diffraction for a given lens focal length, the absence of an AA filter and good contrast lighting can render f22 much more crisp than f22 on AA filter + soft light. We shouldn\'t discount the impact of the lighting when making comps.
