XCD 30mm lens wide open hand held

[Michael H. Cothran]

I've been running my new XCD lenses through their paces as I go for my daily walk on this pathway. Was curious as to how well these lenses can & will perform wide open - something I normally rarely do in my landscape work. I shot near 50 images wide open as I walked this day. I utilized the multi focus points on some, and the focus peaking on others. No complaints at all. I am very pleased with the image quality.
Aperture priority @ f3.5 (yielding a 1/640 sec shutter speed), Center spot meter mode, chose a focus point over the near left tree. I couldn't ask for better.
Minimum post processing. In LR5 I set the Lens Correction and Custom Camera Profile. In CS6 I added a very mild curves.
