Both at ISO100, f/2 and 1/5000s, no filter or lens hood. So the mortgage your house lens is a clear winner in terms of color, contrast, sharpness, details (resolution) and even bokeh. But that shouldn't be a surprise. Both shot on tripod, live view manual focus. If you can't tell which is which, congratulations.
(Note: This cannot be a "fair" comparison as in comparing a current production that costs a whopping $2,000 to a out of production 1981 lens that costs at most 1/5 of the cost of the former in the secondary market. The Nikkor 24mm f/2 is shot wide open while the f/1.4 lens is shot close down at f/2)
I can't, as far as the subject is concerned. I can see a difference in the bokeh but I can't tell the bokeh in the second photo is better than that of the first. So my Nikon D60 and Tamron lenses suit me fine and I save a lot of money.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom picture was taken with the Nikkor 24mm f/2 at f/2.
