Test shot - Railroad watch
I got a new 4x objective lens and was wondering if it was soft. The 1st shtowas of the butterfly lens and it was not as sharp as I expected. I took a series of shots of this Railroad watch you have seen before at 4x to test my solution. I shot them at 150mm, 160mm & 170mm. This is 160mm where the objective is suppose to be shot. This is a "Raw" shot no processing as you can see ghosting around the upper gears. I would not normally leave a shot like this or the dust and dirt on the gears. HAGD
