Posted are some 100% center crops from the Rokkor versus my painfully sharp 85LII.
The images are just as shot - no post-processing of any kind has been applied (other than cropping the centre). The images were shot RAW, imported into LR, and exported with default settings as .jpg.
The focal plane is not parallel with the subject on the Rokkor shot, which makes me wonder if that medal is even in focus.
How many shots did you take at each aperture?
Did you use focus bracketing and then choose the best shot?
Did you re-focus after changing the aperture, or just stop-down and shoot? (The Rokkor has focus shift)
One thing is for certain, I surely prefer the Rokkor\'s colour and lack of CA as compared to the 85L.
