The D80 does loose resolution after F/11 - F/16 because or refraction.<BR/><BR/>But I guess that's just an error in the preview, since it makes no sense at all.<BR/><BR/>Since the maximal aperture for the lens is given with:<BR/><BR/>• f=4.6 to 92.0mm<BR/>• Approx. 26 to 520mm<BR/>• F2.8 (W) to 4.5 (T)<BR/>• 14 lenses in 11 groups, including aspherical lens<BR/><BR/>And it just makes no sense to have the max aperture being the same as the min aperture. I mean the canon G9 goes down to F/8 (if I'm informed right) what is already not so great.<BR/><BR/>Well the future will tell us, but this thing surly is pricey for what it does, since it's pretty much a specialty camera.Gert Wohlgemuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02906619451323734545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20860763.post-63136324248127016042008-09-16T01:56:00.000-07:002008-09-16T01:56:00.000-07:00well it's already the second generation of this th...well it's already the second generation of this thing, but the old one was very limited in it's resolution. The 1 Second shutter is not the big deal since you always can use an ND, the 1/2000th shutter speed on the other hand is a major drawback.Gert Wohlgemuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02906619451323734545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20860763.post-16452659651023580292008-09-16T00:26:00.000-07:002008-09-16T00:26:00.000-07:00This is they type of thing I've been waiting for I...This is they type of thing I've been waiting for I think. But it only goes to 1 second shutter, which seems a bit lame.Keith Bradnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09931189699608482335noreply@blogger.com
