A great question recently: What is it about lenses that allow one lens to have a higher resolving power than another? Lens resolving power refers to the detailed performance of a lens and is part of what makes up "sharpness." There is a long answer and a shorter answer, todays video focuses on the shorter answer and the WHY some are sharper than others, as well as some ways to fix it. In the short answer, I'll define the 3 major determinants of lens resolving power, but there are definitely more!
