Sweet Spot Squared
This is not just any photo of a sweet object, this is an M & S photo...
For this week I used a Sigma 105mm Marco lens which, in testing, seemed to perform identically between f9 and f16. To be honest, even when viewed at 100% I struggled to spot much drop off in quality across most of the range from about 5.6 - 22.
For reference, as I know this seems to be a bit of an issue at the moment, the subject of the photo (the sweet itself) is approx 18mm across and I had the lens set roughly on it's 1:1 marker and the body is a full frame camera (Nikon D700).
The sweet itself is a hard chocolate sphere filled with runny caramel and coated in edible glitter. Background is a fabric swatch which seemed a good match. Despite appearances this is a colour photo! Lit simply with window light.
