>>4225707>the lens designers, autistically crafting each lens based entirely on measurable characteristics, somehow missed this "rendering" and "look"Color cast, field curvature, residual spherical aberration, lat/long CA, mechanical vignetting, rise distance modulation transfer frequency at this or that cycles focus breathing there are a lot of things that are considered. The whole world knows it all dude. "Rendering" is basically the retard umbrella term for all of it.
"Rendering" is just what gearfags say when they are too dumb to point out what they actually like about a lens - usually because...
they have not actually seen it. not once. they have not looked at the pictures and seen some consistency in the way the field of focus is perfectly curved around the average human face or that blue is filtered somewhat or anything like that. they cant point point out what, in a selection of random pictures, is "good rendering". nada. you can give them a wall of photos, ask them to point out what's a sigma, eurozeiss, japzeiss, cosina voigtlander, leica, sony, they can not fucking do it. You can not even give them a photo in isolation taken with their favorite lens of all time and they can not name it. Strip exif, their opinion is gone.
So, individual lens characteristics, like color cast and sharpness do exist. normally in small differences. but "rendering" is essentially voodoo meant to sound technical, but still be impossible for the gearfag to define, so they may use it to cope with any purchase however it affects their life or self esteem.
