[Leica] OT: D3x vs. 'Blad CFV 16MP full sized samples

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I agree with all of this of course and its my thought that these
multitudinous variables exist in different forms with film. Its really a
horse of a different color.
But the way I think of it and the area I know about is sharpening;
coincidently what were are also talking about here.
This is what really obviously makes a comparison between two camera systems
this millennium pretty impossible. In the old days you could shoot
Kodachrome 25 in both.
People tend to way over sharpen or way under sharpen as they don't sharpen.
And that in some peoples eyes make a pop bottle bottom perform like and APO
Aspherical optic with rare fluorite clusters and nano coatings wafted on in
metaphysical conditions.

Its hard to know what you got any more.

And when I hear of people who I suspect don't print make grand statements
about this and that system or lens it just goes in one ear and out the
other; with no sharpening or anti aliasing of any kind. Nor IR cut off.
