Re: Cloudy sky highlight recovery with DP Merrills
Do you have a method to get rid of this ? It is quite annoying as it occurs quite often...

Few months ago I bought a used DP1M and did some test shots with it. While the lens is not as sharp as the DP2 as expected, I feel that the colors are a little bit nicer and, oddly, I don't find any cloudy sky issues in my pictures. Isn't this strange ?

To allow for full highlight recovery in SPP I use ISO 200 and point meter on brightest sky/Cloud point I want to preserve. Exposure set to +2 stops over.  At ISO 200 the DPm files have 2 stops of exposure latitude.  Works everytime to preserve highlights and you are using all of the dynamic range for the sensor.
