Hi.
I'm not 100% sure this is the right spot for this question, so please feel free to move this. It's a technique thing....
Anyway, when looking at moden digital gear, I believe the generally accepted "fact" is that diffraction starts to creep in at about f/16. For those egale-eyed folks that might be true, but for me, not so much...I can say I see a general softening of the image (again digital here) at about f/22 or so.
I can't say the same for my one and only LF lens which is a Fuji 150mm f/5.6. to me it's super sharp at f/22 and I'm not even sure if there's a problem at f/32.
So, what's the deal here?
Do LF lenses tend to preform well at very small apertures, way better than modern digital gear? Is that just how it is, physics?
Or is diffraction just as prevelent in LF even at f/22 and I just need better glasses and eagle-eye training?
Thoughts??
Thx!!
