Aperture Series: Lichen-Covered Granite Slab
This aperture series from f/2.8 through f/11 evaluates the far distance performance of the Hasselblad XCD 135mm f/2.8 including sharpness and overall lens correction, lens symmetry, focus shift and field curvature.
It also includes an exposure at f/9 in which focus was placed more to the distance for a superior total result to either f/8 or f/11, a frame instructive for practical field-use shooting.
Includes images up to full camera resolution.
