Real life
A real life photograph will almost certainly be edited, resized and sharpened. Does this loss of sharpness at 100% mean that much? Examine the edited versions below.
Pic4 – Edited version of full frame 400mm, sharpened 50%
Pic5 – Edited version of full frame 560mm (TC14E II), sharpened 150%
Pic6 – Edited version of full frame 680mm (TC17E II), sharpened 250%
The same photoshop CS smart sharpening parameters were used.
It is possible to notice a reduction is sharpness but contrast and colour remain good, at least faithful to the varying conditions.
Am I still going to swap?
I’ll sleep on that one!
