I don't think they were meant to be works of art just a standard way
of comparing bokeh. I usually do the same with bottles of beer and
then drink the contents

I like all of these even though I can't get my head
round the last one.... the bridge looks really tiny.

Nice place. The Virginia Creeper needs trimming
I really like the corridor shot. Camera position is perfect.

Horst... Quite a lot of bokeh testing has been done on the
3 Amigos in your part of the woods

See here_link

Sadly some of the photos have been deleted.

To simulate FF blend a few APS-C shots together.

I think DXO also use low light on some of their lens tests.

All DXOMark scores are in fact based on low light.....

"DxOMark Score is based on low-light conditions (150 lux and 1/60s exposure time). We chose these conditions because we believe low-light performance is very important in photography today, and because photographers need to know how well lenses perform at their widest aperture."

http://www.dxomark.com/About/Lens-scores/DxOMark-Score

The final result is dependant on the camera body used...

quality lens with high contrast as well... I doubt if the
Sigma 10-20mm has that.

When AP used to test lenses in LPMM they did two tests one
in normal light and one in poor light..... it sorted the men
from the boys.

I think DXO also use low light on some of their lens tests.

Just tried the DNG Editor. It's quite nice to use.
I calibrated my screen with Huey + Argyll yesterday, but I
think it's a bit off.

This is crop from a K-5 DNG 800ISO...
