Bill,
I find all your images to be sligtly blurry and lacking in sufficient
contrast for me to detect differences. I always enjoy seeing MLU tests
because I want to be convinced that it is just a myth. Your test, with all due respect, is not a myth buster, yet. 
To
truely test MLU, again IMHO, you need to shoot a contrasty image at asa
200 for clarity's sake, with all things being equal, on a cement floor,
good tripod, etc, and then compare just a few images, say from 1/250 a
second to 1 second. You should start to see image degradation around
1/15 second compared to your 1/250. Another
way to test this is to shoot the exact same target, all things being
equal, with a D100 with MLU and a D70 without MLU at slower shutter
speeds starting from 1/60 on down to 1 second. I argue that MLU isn't a myth.
I have seen a visible "big" difference with macro shots taken with my
N80 and then the exact same image taken with my F5 on just a 4x6 print.
I argue that if MLU was just a myth,
Nikon wouldn't have bothered putting it into all the latest pro D
series bodies, the D100, FM2a and FM3a and the F5 and F6. IMHO, Nikon
left MLU off all the amateur AF film bodies, N90s, F100 and the D70
because of the target audience for those camera bodies. Thanks again, Kent
Edited to add that most people don't understand or appreciate MLU |
