It is taken at infinity, to test far-field lens performance. In general though, you can evaluate detail in the bricks, shingles, and windows, and in the tree branches against the sky. The C20 performed very well in this test, producing a sharp, beautifully-exposed image. We saw little of the tendency to lose highlight detail that we found in the studio, although the sunlight was rather hazy on the day we shot this image, making the highlight contrast a bit less extreme. In this shot, the C20 again showed slightly excessive contrast, losing some detail in the blond model's face and clothing.
Color balance is excellent though, and saturation is just about right.
Detail is very good, although the sharpening algorithm coarsens the finest elements slightly. Just move in to the closest-focusing distance of 9.5 inches and shoot. This shot shows excellent color and a good tonal range, surprisingly preserving the highlight details quite well, although possibly at the expense of the lower end of shadow detail. We were a little puzzled by this shot, in that the C20 generally tends to push the contrast and brightness a bit, aiming for brighter midtones, at the expense of the highlights. Overall though, this is a very good performance on this subject.
