I’ve just happened upon a very well-written article over at Black Star Rising written by John Sevigny.  The article, Some F-Stops Are More Equal Than Others, discusses the natural flaws in lenses (flaws being unavoidable) and about how even the best lenses will have f-stops that aren’t as clean or clear as others.  This is an incredibly important fact to know as a photographer, and you should understand your lens’s limitations.  Though you may choose to ignore this fact as well (some of my best shots are from these poor f-stops). For you pocket camera users – you may not have control over your aperture, but the same holds true for you.  So I would encourage everyone to spend a few moments and read Sevigny’s article:  Some F-Stops Are More Equal Than Others
