Since this is a theoretical discussion with no-one having the announced cameras/system here, I was just commenting on a technical aspect of that. My post was intended to express that the best lenses to use can be the ones designed for the system, in my view. If you needed to increase the exposure in the main part of the field by say two stops for every exposure and apply a colour correction you would appreciate that the correction comes at a cost of dynamic range, tonal depth and noise performance for example. It's happening in the corners for every frame with wides on the M9. Does it matter in practice??? yeah no maybe depends ;-) In the case of the M9, I can comment that the amount of correction with wider lenses is quite significant to achieve the desired result at all. I was a firmware tester for the system. The M is another discussion. I just recovered a few poor exposures that were two stops or more under (albeit minimum ISO) with excellent results...remarkable. http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/153233601 Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 7 November 2013 23:25, George Lottermoser <george.imagist at icloud.com>wrote: > Only matters if the user/reviewer can see the loss of quality; > and/or cares about it. > > a note off the iPad, George > > On Nov 7, 2013, at 12:04 AM, Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> > wrote: > > > losing quality in those > > corners > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >
