Detail Man

Remember, Yossarian, my door is always open, and you can always come to see me in my office. :P

Sounds like a good question to ask at: http://www.dpreview.com/members/feedback ... where you will find a link to: http://www.dpreview.com/misc/sitefaq ... which states: Can I email you? I really...

DPR Moderators state that a Moderator's Forum exists. This recent post may be of some interest: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/50943454

Decided to re-process 5 of these images:

I don't think that it matters how one does it or what one calls it. The transduced signal of interest at those spatial frequencies is attenuated. While the contribution to the input-referred...

There you go. The moral of the story is that the wages of image sensel worship are an eternal pit of hellish unfulfilled desire, ever searching for the elusive mythical Airy disks, but finding only...

Skip the newly neutered DPReview "Image Smoother" interface, download the Originals, fire up a real Image Viewer at 100% view, and bleed your golden eyes on some of that "unecessary" detail. GH2 +...

I can see it now. Future DPReview subject titles: "Question: Is my new Rottweiler Primo Lens Soft Enough ?" "User Review: The new fangled Whizbang XYZ-1 sports the Lowest Resolution Yet...

We sometimes forget that what we throw the term "reality" at is but an inherently subjective construct necessarily arising out of our individual sensory perceptions. It is in no way transferable -...

Did you record the image that you posted in RAW ? I took some close looks at it, and it was not clear that it was not an OOC JPG. In any event, it appeared to have had either a lot of NR and/or...

Hi there, fPrime, I get no thrills if and when others may use DxO Optics Pro (as I rather like being different) - but since we each processed your LX3 RW2 rather differently, I don't really think...

I don't know, my friend. Have not looked at what DxOMark is doing much at all. Nobody seems to take it seriously. The BxU unit stuff seems also viewed with a jaundiced eye (perhaps understandably,...

The SLRgear Lens Blur applets show around 2.5 BxU in corners (PL 25mm F/1.4), and around 3.5 BxU in corners (Leica 50mm F/1.4). It does appear that the center Lens Blur shows as significantly lower...

Very good. I was beginning to fear that you might be asking me to "summarize" it for you ... ;) It seemed a bit laborious to follow early on, but that "sylvatica" is one "bad motorscooter". Very...

Yes - but that thread is (by far) where the "good stuff" exists to be found. "No pain, no gain". :P

Yes. You are correct about that. The focus distance is itself a separate issue from BxU validity. It does appear (in Sylvatica's posted identities in the thread referenced) that the derivation of...

I do not have the background to follow the mathematics in the proof beginning to end, and I don't know a vast amount about these subjects. However, there do seem to exist indications that the...

But, but, you didn't fight for the perfect angle. You didn't fight for the perfect moment. You didn't see the one thing that might be the most interesting. You rushed. You just don't have the...
