One minor problem, that won't help at all with individual lenses. Ever hear of "The Lemon Law" concerning cars?
Lens figures between any two lenses of the same model number can differ wildly. This is why pros will take home 4 or more lenses of the same model number to pick out one that might be better. (For the same reason that pros that shoot with P&S cameras will do the same, not only for the lens, but for the sensor installed, no two being alike in noise performance for the same camera model.) The surest and simplest way for the novice to find out if their lens is NOT of diffraction-limited quality is if the details become softer at widest apertures. If that is true, then all tests for diffraction problems at any f-stop become pointless. Diffraction artifacts only reveal themselves with diffraction-limited quality optics. That is why they call it that. The image resolution is now only limited by the physics of light and diffraction itself because the lens figures are that precise.

A pro using a P&S. That's like Hermann Maier using barrel staves as skis.

Award winning photos can be taken with a shoe-box pinhole camera in the hands of a pro.
Those who think it's the camera that makes or breaks a photo is nothing but a hardware worshipping snapshooter or pretend-photographer troll. They have proved themselves no sort of photographer by claiming just so.
>One minor problem, that won't help at all with individual lenses. Ever hear >of "The Lemon Law" concerning cars?
Here's a thought: buy a lens based on the ISO12233 chart and if it does not measure up, send it back. You pay good money for something, now get off your ass and get what you paid for.

Probably true. However a pro - a person who makes a living taking photographs - would not depend on a camera that *might* be capable of taking a good photograph. A .22 rifle *might* stop the charge of a charging lion, but the serious hunter would want to be better armed.

I think we have somebody close at hand who would be able to stop that charging lion with a pointed stick, and capture the "tack sharp, frozen in mid-stride" image of the event at the same time.

Not probably. It *IS* true.

Yes, arm them with a $798,000 heat-seeking automatic scud-missile launcher that can be fired at 30 MPS (missiles per second) by any fool that points it in the general direction of any Serengeti plain. That should take some hunting skill to kill that lion. Maybe it'll leave part of a paw to mount for their collection.
Are you snapshooting DSLR-Trolls this seriously inept, insecure, desperate, and stupid to come up with such inane analogies? But of course you are, you prove it with every post you make.

You forget, all of civilization is founded on people skilled enough to kill those lions with a pointed stick.

This thread has taken on a Monty Pythonesque quality.
I can see a pride of lions faced by "He who shall bear many names" impaling themselves on pointed sticks to avoid image capture by shoe-box pinhole camera.

Then they'll stay there long enough for a pinhole camera exposure, won't they. You didn't think this through very well, did you. Just like your camera purchases.

Certainly you would have them quite stationary for your purpose, but they would have avoided the shame of knowing they were the subject of your image capture.
Which camera purchase? The D70, the D300, the E-900, the G11, or maybe I need to go back to 1968 for the Yashica Electro 35, or '64 for the Spotmatic, or 1976 for the K1000.
...and I know you wouldn't even have selected the G11, or E-900 for whatever reason you will be sure to let us know.

Not sure exactly how that software works but to do it manually when there are overlaps, you need to mask out the foreground & clone in some fake background or you get a halo with the blur. It's impractical for some kinds of scenes with a lot of overlap.
I'm not awaiting help, at least not from you obviously, since, being part of the crowd of DSLR dummies/minions/trolls I don't need this software.
I am awaiting some proof of your claims. Einstein did make some that where preposterous at the time, but he also gave ways to prove them. And this means giving enough information so that the people in doubt can check by themselves (I still have a P&S somewhere).
