For those who may wonder what the discussion topic is:

Anyways, my question is, for someone who's never owned any of this kind of equipment before and has no reference point whatsoever, how do you know? How do you know if your lens is sharp enough? If the autofocus is fast enough and properly calibrated? If your body is producing pictures with proper contrast and color? Etc.. When I get my lens and body, is there a particular series of tests I could run to make sure everything is up to spec and working properly?

Like always....you have those that find it easier to blame their mistakes on poor equipment...but if you question them...half the time they don't know an f/stop from a tripod.:p

I was hoping that someone would explain it to me!

I think extreme pixel peeping is to blame for alot of it. Remember when we actually printed pictures way back in 2000 :lol:

I love this line from that thread: " Also, there are more soft users than soft lenses."
