Interesting indeed. The contrast is intentionally set lower in order to bring out the details, according to the photographer. Keep that in mind when you look at the photos.

How do you like these photos?

http://www.slrclub.com/bbs/vx2.php?id=sigma_forum&page=4&sid1=on&divpage=29&sid=on&keyword=829373&select_arrange=headnum&desc=asc&no=150163

They are all taken with either Leica DMR or Nikon D2x. I tried to emulate them with my DP2s, but I could not capture such fine details as you see in the photos. Of course, my photographic ability is to blame for most part, and DPs are not DSLRs like the Leica and Nikon. However, looking at these photos, I changed my opinions about Bayer sensor. It does capture fine details quite well. Not better or worse. It does its job quite well.

I am not taking side with any type of sensor technology here. So, don't come after me guys. ;)

A lot of the shots have blotchy areas in them, especially the last one. Also they all look over sharpened and overprocessed in general.
 
I think they look great! If nobody had said "eww skin flakes" I wouldn't have even had a reason to think anything was off kilter to ruin my day. Alright, have to agree on the powder bit, but that wasn't the point of the photo. I think people look fine naturally, so...what were we discussing, again, anyway? ;)

It isn't shabby, I agree.

...But it is yellow.

Looks like a natural skin tone. Yes, a bit of yellow in the forehead, but again looks pretty natural. (You'll notice there's less of it lower in the face.)
 
I liked the B&W Nikon D2X images the best by a good margin, though the first batch of portraits was good too (the ones starting with the guy whose hair exploded into CAs, which honestly didn't bother me).
