[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]When I see Leica photos posted here, they seem to have a sharpness and, sometimes, luminescence, beautiful bokeh, microcontrast perhaps, that sets them apart from other cameras with sensors rated higher by DXO. But it's hardly a meaningful test since I've been a Leica fan since high school, so I'm biased. Furthermore, I know which photographs were done with Leica glass. Still, they do seem better, and I'm curious about how that's possible if Leica sensors are so low in DXO's ratings. Software? Lenses? Superb photographers?

John -----Original Message----- The dxo lab also said a Nikon D800 makes for better results than medium format digtial. I'd just have to see that to believe and and am not believing it. Are top pros really going to not go medium format now because of that camera. I'm thinking it wont influence many away from shooting medium format digital where it had been used before for 90 percent of the stuff. I've head a medium format digital Epson mat prints in my hand at Photokina a large print and it was exactly better than anything I'd seen full frame as a medium format film out put is over 35mm output. More so even. Mark William Rabiner _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
