Well it looks similar, but the differences show in 100% of the original photos..
Thus, i compiled the ori jpeg extract from raw using nx viewer to a web host server,
pls dl it n comment on the details..
The download link of ori files r here:
F22 vs F3.5select free users, wait for 30sec n the download link will appear. extract the files wif winrar.
I think, mayb f22 will reduce the sensitivity of
metering thus giv a not-so-clear focus??I snapped both pic wif autofocus.
for f22, i snapped bout 3pics using the same setting (camera autofocus each time) n hav similar result, which is softer.
Mayb it's the metering fault?metering only affects exposure and not sharpness/out-of-focus....
try reading the MTF chart for the lens.
Most people will use f/8~f11 because it is the sharpness and also remember that using f/22 will require a much slower shutter speed (than f/8) hence its is more prone to shake be it wind etc or the building (vibrates esp taller buildings)..
besides, i believe that noise will be more prominent and the NR has to work harder too causing losing some details after applying NR. (based on ur pic which is shot at night).
Correct me if i am wrong.
