Off work.. bit bored. I took some shots of my knackered greenhouse at the end of my garden earlier to do some lens tests for someone in the equipment forum, and while I was about it, I took a Brenizer stitch just to see how much quality I could squeeze out of an image.
At 800 pixels, apart from the shallower depth of field there's not much difference between them, obviously.

Cropped into this area....
...results in this....
Pretty impressive. It's a D800E after all.
However... a 40 image stitch with the same lens set at 300mm.. Same crop....
Boom!
Pretty incredible. It prints at 6 metres across with perfect sharpness and no aliasing.. LOL
The drawbacks? It took 15 minutes for PS to merge the files on a 6 core 4.7GHz machine with 32GB of RAM, and resulted in a 4GB 16bit TIFF![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Still... it passed some time and was interesting.
