And your 2nd sentence is precisely what I am talking about. E-3 is a system, so is the Leica M8/9. Each system has its constraints and excellence. You say "strong low pass filter," I say stupid bullock having to fit an UV filter. Yea, I screw them on, and just plain forget about them, but don't go casting stones so fast :-) Lets not even talking about the vignetting correcting or the colorfix program. But it's OK, really it is. The Leica M is one of the best design cameras ever, and the M8 carries that tradition just fine. At the end of the day, which is an expression I hate, it's about how comfortable the photographer is with their tools, because, that's when the photographer will get the pictures :-O On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 2:25 PM, Geoff Hopkinson<hopsternew at gmail.com> wrote: > > I really wouldn't challenge Leica to an MTF contest though! > In firmware the E3 adds considerable sharpening even to your Raw files as > it > needs to compensate for the softening from the strong low pass filter. -- // richard m: richard @imagecraft.com // w: http://www.imagecraft.com/pub/Portfolio09/ blog: http://rfman.wordpress.com // book: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/745963
