Jim, all you need to do is go to the Imaging Resource, look at some sample images from old DSLRs (heck, download some raws too) and then compare that same studio scene to samples taken with new ...

@Impulses No point anymore, you are correct. I replied specifically to you only because you made this an actual discussion, and a worthy one at that. You've done nothing wrong whatsoever.

@Impulses
If someone says the lens is boring and, as you say, it's a "perfectly valid and subjective opinion" then why is there a need for the poster to explain it? If another person writes, "Great...

I get your point, but then why doesn't anyone get excited by slow lenses? The ability of the gear widens the shooting envelope and opens creative possibilities. And if you are drawn by how a lens...

It's a boring lens if using it doesn't excite or inspire the photographer.

This lens is not "extremely compact". It is just compact.

The thing that strikes me most is the massive desaturation of green.

While I love the form, style and features of this camera, I don't find the default color output from it (as well as most modern cameras) to be pleasing. I miss pre-2010 era camera colors,...

I was really hoping that this would not happen. Imaging Resource was invaluable to the photographic community.

Looks like a great lens, although some shots were out of focus with this lens-body combination.

Indeed, the color here looks great!

Samples from X-H2 look sharper despite despite that camera having the same sensor. Something must be wrong with the filter stack here.

Why do these 40 megapixels look so soft though?

One would think at this point that camera makers figured out how to balance sharpening and noise reduction in their images to avoid them looking artificial, but no.

I love compact primes! "Beyond "beautiful pictures""? Erm...

I wanted to see this photographer's samples. I know about the old review. Also, Kodak's camera uses the Nikon F mount and I wanted to see some results with Canon lenses.

Some sample shots would have been nice :)

What I find most interesting about this comparison is that the Foveon sensor is able to get more microcontrast/sharpness from a lens than a Bayer sensor can. In the center, where the lens is ...

Awesome!

Why did you not provide a comparison between an optically well-corrected lens and a software-corrected lens of the same brand? That would be more interesting if the point is to determine what the...
