And that's the one from the film past about how lens design over the many decades has always kept in step with film design. Neck in neck. Copasetic The lenes all take a jump in how they render. But so has the film. Its interesting that that relationship can have jumped the bridge into the digital sensor realm. And what happens when they do get a bit out of sync. I think its good in ones shooting to have some options. You have some glass which is cutting edge. But some of your glass is from past generations. Hopefully you have the right generation for the right focal length for the job at hand at the time. My old glass which I use half the time gets a tad more unsharp mask for sure. The new stuff or the pricy stuff seems to need less sharpening. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 11:07:37 +1000 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] S2 vs. 645D > > Back in Solms, the chief optical department guy Peter Karbe, has said that > their S lenses are the best they have ever designed and they can outresolve > their next generation (30x45) sensor as well. > > Cheers, > Geoff > http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman
