Thanks, Paul. I can open this frame in PSE 5, so I'll try the cloning
technique there. I'll try your numbers.
Thanks, Bob S.. I'm going to try that too to see if it

If you are going to recommend current equipment based historical
purchases, you've invalidated your test. It's a subtle bias that sounds
plausible until you examine it critically. Andy either has no
For those two particuliar lenses, yes.
Good testers (specially those who can afford and DPR most probably

Margus, what are your findings about sharpness, specially wide open?
Supposedly (I insist, I can't compare myself) the FA50 is soft wide
