[Leica] IMG: Focus and Resolution Check

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

To answer my own questions as well as some raised by list members, I set the 
E-510 up at ISO 400, to raise shutter speed, and used a black cloth to 
enable Live View focusing.  While the birds did not cooperate, my neighbor's 
chimney cap made a nice, stationary model.  Focus was on the mesh inside the 
cap, and the post-processing was similar to that that I normally use.

While not quite as sharp as with the lens alone, the resolution is certainly 
useable for web postings, which is where my images usually end up.  I do 
very little printing.  I am happy with the results.
