WOW! Look at that bokeh! Those OOF elements are so creamy... Man I love this lens!
You photographed a brick wall which is not as good as photographing the stars but it does the job right?
Never heard this before but seen lots of wall shots. How can you tell in the star shots? The stars look a little OOF to me but maybe I don\'t know what I am looking for.
My star shot test was basically to see how bad the stars look like sea gulls in the corners of the frame. And this is in the extreme corner, all the way to the corner, and the stars are not distorted all that bad. Now this test does not check for barrel distortion but I am using it to see what aperture I can get away with when photographing the night sky. Some lenses I have to stop down to F/4 to make some of the star distortion go away. However with this new 105, they are nearly pinpoint at the corners at f/1.4 which makes me very happy.
As you can see in this sample, this is the upper left extreme corner of the sensor image from the lens being wide-open
