Monochrome Byōdō-in
With the old Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f2.8 G wide opened at f2.8 as it was a heavily overcast day.
This black and white rendition, I tried to emphasize the white more to stand out against the black while avoiding heavy featureless dark shadows.
This old DSLR lens is certainly more than sharp enough even when shot wide opened contrary to camera forum gear-nuts who will tell us that the MTF for this lens is weak or the corners are dismal yada-yada, all theoretical on paper measurements against a flat wall at mid distance at most. In field use, subjects are in 3-D, not 2-D like a flat wall unless one only shoots test charts all day just to critique on lens sharpness in the extreme corners of the frame on gear forums. Of course all these gear-nut critiques is just to ultimately tell us that the new just launched lens is soooo much better and we’ll not be able to take nice photos unless we get the latest and greatest lens.
My only criticism against this lens is that it’s a brick, a non-issue however for those with a lot of Neanderthal genes and hence an overabundance of muscles.
