The Pinkham & Smith Visual Quality IV- 'Centroid'
I'm calling this 'Centroid', I've shot this artifact before, and I butchered the shot by using the wrong lens(the PS SA SerIII), while I was on the wrong side of the learning curve when I used that lens for shooting this artifact.
The Visual Quality does a better job on this artifact of handling the illumination reflected off this glass. Again, I use this and the other images shot w/this lens to submit that you can throw out any dogma regarding the starting point of how soft a lens happens to be in relation to another lens to suggest that a lens is better or worse for that reason. You start out w/what you start out with, and then your choices in lighting/focus/SM/composition et al then have as much or more to do w/the ultimate outcome of the shot, it's everything that went into the shot.
That's my take on this anyway.
