>>4315027Hey ken, I know you've been saying this for 20 years and worked at a newspaper once, but most mid range first party mirrorless lenses are sharper than a zeiss otus now, storage is dirt cheap, and capture one displays raw previews as fast as the normal mac image viewer loads jpegs. The sheer amount of sharpness you can get out of a relatively cheap nikon S prime, sony f1.4 GM, sony f1.8 to 2.8 "G", f4 zoom, etc is unbelievable. Standard lenses on mirrorless are above leica tier, they are borderline flawless. The nikkor Z 24-120 f4 is sharper than every F mount prime except for some super telephoto options, and it's the Z6II kit lens. You need to lower yourself to sub-$300 plastic/chinky primes like the 40mm f2 and viltrox, samyang shit to return to DSLR IQ and then you end up with a much smaller camera that does the same thing as a d850 with a typical F mount nikkor G prime.
It's not DSLRs anymore, you dont need a giant $5000 tube to have a sharp lens. The most the high end shit offers now is flawless bokeh and focus falloff which nobody really cares about except for the snobs curating moody perfume ads. To normal viewers, flawless bokeh actually just looks like midjourney.
