Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 vs. Sony RX100 Pocket Camera Lens

<p>This was fun. <a href="http://randolphimages.com/otus/">HERE</a><br>

An image from one of the finest lenses ever made, on a Sony A7r, compared to same image from a two-year old Sony RX100 pocket cam. Tech head alert: Images made casually at Photokina trade show. No charts here. </p>

<p>It's a troll post - totally useless. It's quite common to be sharp at the centre for a lens, a bit stopped down. If a lens is not sharp at the centre stopped down, where is it supposed to be sharp? And what would be the meaning of a lens that is never sharp? I have a kit lens of my (now older) Nikon system that had a good sharpness reputation, and in fact it is very sharp at the centre. I suppose many lenses are not so far in sharpness at the centre from the Otus. High-class stuff is so expensive because it's sharp at the corners and possibly wide open.<br>

Not to defend the Otus - I won't ever buy such an expensive lens. It's to defend the obvious.</p>

<p>Did you miss the word "fun"? "casually made"? </p>

<p>"Totally useless" is not referred to your post, but to the post that you linked. In fact I understand you are on the same opinion as me.</p>
