Yes, exactly!
If you take a look at page 1 of this thread, I already posted some images in standard web size and 100% crops from the corners.

Does it matter where the plane of focus is/was? I am not sure if pixel peeping needs to be in focus plane or does not matter. Mostly because i do not exactly understand pixel peeping. I realize sharp image from out of focus, obviously pixels has something to do with image quality, not sure I understand about corner pixel peeping.

  • There have been various posts talking about the pros and cons of the various combinations of lenses and Nauticam wet optics as well as comparing performance of rectilinear lenses behind various domes.

  • waso, I am attaching a couple of images, no crop, no edit, so you can look pixel peep if you desire, of course there are different f/stop depth of field varies and images resized to enable upload here

  • Thankfully Landvogt1893 send me the RAW files and we can have a look at the two uncorrected RAW files to learn how much of the image is actually black and artificially generated. I have activated Ligh

I don't know how you set your focus point...

If you can track that using a software, it would be obviously helpful.

But if you used a relatively small aperture and the focus point is somewhere on the subject, it shouldn't be a problem to assess the image quality in any case.

In underwater wide-angle photography, the edges of the image, and especially the corners, are always problematic in terms of sharpness due to the laws of physics. Therefore, it is a constant struggle for underwater photographers to assemble a camera system that overcomes these physical limitations.😁
