Aperture Series @ 71mm: Mosaic
This page looks at performance of the Panasonic 24-105mm f/4 Macro OIS at 71mm on an extremely demanding planar (flat) target at medium distance. This particular subject lays bare all lens weaknesses, but particularly field curvature, focus shift and micro contrast across the frame. It turns out that localized focus shift rears its head in this scene.
Includes images up to full camera resolution at f/4, f/5.6, f/8 with crops as well.
