Rojer J,

Looks good but high ISO banding is obvious viewed at 100%.

Hi S

Yes there is banding, but to be honest I'm trying to look beyond the draw backs and just focus on the image.

Back in the day all I cared about was the image and what it said, what it conveyed, then I turned gear head and pixel peeper, but now I'm going back to image first and what they can convey. I thought it would be with Sigma/Foveon but now that Sigma has gone to a Bayer sensor I'm rethinking what I'm going to use. It really doesn't matter, although I will not follow the herd. So banding, sometimes look like film gain, which is fine by me. Although I'm looking at Leica as they have a totally different look. Bottom line for me it's one digital, one film, that use the same lens system.

Happy Holidays

Roger J.

Roger J,

I like your thinking and would go along with it in general, but would like to find a way to get rid of the banding, the grain is acceptable.

S

Just go over the worst areas with a Blur brush.

I wonder how the banding noise reduction tool in SPP would do in this case.
