SAMPLES: There are two zip files from Chris Brown in which he compares the new ZD25mm Pancake against the ZD14-42mm standard zoom at 25mm across the apertures. Download them to study. Chris's explanation: "The zip files have the layers split from a .psd file. The background is f22, layer 1 f16 etc., in one stop decrements; I have included the pancake f22 file to illustrate the whole view. MF with S-AF on the roof at the beginning of each run. Set to SHQ, natural, sharpening etc default."
