Big list of lenses still not sure how that fits in. I think we're supposed to be comparing grain patterns on fields of grey with white letters which gives us a clue as to what it is. Such a thing strikes me as being a comparative test of digital sharpening anomalies. I see this thing often. In the digital realm such comparisons often have this problem. One camera maybe gives us relatively unsharpened images. The other needs less sharpening. We have to subjectively match them up before we start comparing stuff. Like glass. Or general image quality. We also have to match color saturation. If we had a few flowers in the test with some thistles and shreds of crumpled newspaper we would have something to go on. The head of some depraved mannequin. A reality sample. Then a grey card in there we then zoom in on and check out the "grain" pattern. But with no context I'm not sure what we have. No ground - no figure. Or "go figure". Nice of them to take this big hunky quirky here-today-gone-tomorrow priced high-as-the-sky Leica thing and compare that against the omnipresent* Canon bang for the buck plastique Tupperware. * om?ni?pres?ent 1. continuously and simultaneously present throughout the whole of creation 2. present or seemingly present all the time or everywhere 3.
