Guest flatfour Posted August 7, 2006 Share #41 Posted August 7, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) For what it's worth a friend of mine used be a lens designer - I won't say who for. He told me that Canon deliberately made their lenses contrasty becasue people preferred it and it was cheaper than getting the very highest resolution. This was about ten years ago though.

albertwang Posted August 7, 2006 Share #42 Posted August 7, 2006 Bingo. In fact, Canon lenses contain plastic lens elements? And we still are deluded to think that plastic is better than glass to increase the quality of the image? Geewhiz. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the one Canon lens I've used isn't representative but I couldn't get decent contrast or resolution out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
