New Lens Recommendations Wanted

[Tom Wertman]

Since I am also interested in this lens I copied your image and ran it through DxO Optics. I increased sharpness and lowered the mid-range curve a bit. I like it as I see more detail in the frogs back but more importantly I wanted to see if I could correct some of the lens shortfalls and I think I have even though I do not have the module for the 7D and 70-300 DO installed.

Nice work - really shows what that lens can do...and what a small Curves correction can do too. The only quibble I have is the foreground leaves look a little too crunchy now...not sure if that's the lens' bokeh or the sharpening you applied.


I love DxO for its geometric correction panel but to separate the sharpening (local corrections) you really need layers I think.
