I found a site w/ ISO 12233 photos. You can see how various lenses perform.

http://www.the-digital-picture.com

Look at this and shut up.

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.

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.

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.

Lemon Laws are really for early Hyundai and a lot of GM cars. Not toyota. Get it?

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.

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.

What's the sale price on a bullshit-seeking automatic spam-writer

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).
