>>4359335Camera reviewers actually used to do 3d sharpness maps of cameras instead of 3-zone lp/mm graphs that demonstrated this effect and told you more about how your photos would look than the lenstip and optical limits graph shit so no its not really pseudoscience
Its a lost art because it was inconvenient for marketing departments because “bigger number taller line better” sells lenses more effectively than in depth analysis showing how field curvature and DOF falloff perform with that lens. I wonder if its because all these giant wonderprimes and SUPERSHARP! zooms would look worse with harsher dof falloff and sideways field curvature if they still did these?
