Results are insensitive to overexposure.<br />

These plots show the difference in linearity between JPEG and RAW (to TIFF) density response. The EOS-20D only deviates<br />

slightly from linearity (a straight gamma curve).<br />

Comments<br />

A premium zoom, known for excellent sharpness. Results are<br />

strongly affected by the single-coated UV filter, but they are<br />

insensitive to overexposure. When working from RAW (CR2)<br />

images, veiling glare was 0.564% with the filter and 0.391%<br />

with without it. Different results; similar trends.<br />
