Thanks, Press.

Just when you think you have an original question,...

Paper values are worth almost nothing.

D800E plus 14-24 at 14 mm f/8.0 cs 5D II with TS-E 17 four frames stitchend and then cut to the same FOV as the 14 mm on the nikon - also at f/8.0 - both images optimized and sharpened - Nikkor 120 and Canon 80 in LR

not the result some might expect though and very bad for the brand fetishists

Why the high tonal contrast on the Canon shot (accentuating sharpness and the appearance of the image in general) and the opposite, low contrast, treatment of the Nikon image?

Honestly, I never find your comparisons particularly convincing, precisely because of obvious biasing in the way you present them, such as we see here. (and I'm not alone)

Pity - because what you are trying to point out would be just as obvious if you'd treated the images more equally.

Currently Canon has IMHO best setup for architecture - in fact it's the TS-E 17 and 24 II lenses that make the Canon toolchain look that good - lesser the sensor - but the sensor is anyhow overrated IMHO

Having said what I did above, I totally agree with your conclusions. Hehe.

oh - I am not biased at all - I might be a bit lazy and imprecise from time to time though

I'd buy a D800E plus a Nikkor lens if it would suit my needs better - I was using Nikon for more then 20 years but nikon just don't deliver the best gear for my needs any more. I#ve reworked the exposure on the above image and adapted the tone curve a bit - hope this suits your needs more?

but I guess you will find again something to criticize - no problem with that - I simply post what I find interesting - and a 5D II with a TS-E 17 beating a brand new D800E with Nikkor lenses is a very interesting finding - that many others confirmed in the meantime - I am not biased at all - if at all I would be biased towards quality rather then brands - I'd buy a Nikon in a heartbeat and sell my Canon gear if I would find a better wide angle and tele lens at Nikon - it's all about the lenses - will get my hands on the new Schneider-Kreuznach tilt and shift lenses hopefully in Q1 2013
