How sharp is the FP-L?

Sigma added a AA filter to the fp-l which makes it the softest FF camera of similar resolution out there.

Oddly the fp which should be more video oriented, Sigma didn’t use an AA filter.

For video an AA filter is pretty much essential. For stills, on the whole it better left off. It’s almost as if there was a mix up with the sensor spec at the point of manufacture, the AA filter added to the wrong sensor!

The AA filter adds an analogue quality to fp-l results - which looks apt with vintage adapted lenses, but IMO degrades the potential of the latest glass.

If you want that crisp pixel level sharpness you can only get without the use of an AA filter, look elsewhere.
