Interesting that he says he sees no moiré, and yet a staircase effect is
visible on the read arm on the left hand image:

and there is colour fringing on the yellow cage on:

On that pair, the different horizontal suggest camera-shake might have
affected the results, even though precautions were taken.

To me, it shows that 36 Mp is making the system more limited by the lens
rather than the sensor, that care is needed to get the full resolution
from a 36 Mp system, and that because the system is more lens-limited than
sensor-limited the omission of the AA filter is not as important as on
lower pixel count sensors. Give hand-held photography, or a less than
perfect lens or focusing, you can get away without an AA filter on such a
high resolution sensor.

Cheers,
David

Hi David -
it is strange but if I compare both crops I see more of your cited
effects at the right side!?

Strange, yes, but interesting. They are quite small effects, and likely
near the limit of what the lenses can achieve. Perhaps it would be a
greater difference on studio shots, with no atmospheric effects between
subject and camera.

Cheers,
David

Yet another "review" from the "experts" at Ludicrous Landscape who
completely failed to spot the infra-red problem with the sensor in the
Leica M8 having previously claimed that 1.2 MP digicams with hideous
noise and an appalling lack of dynamic range were "the equal of film".

It is difficult to imagine what film they thought the 1.2 MP digicams
were equivalent to. Perhaps some own-brand ISO 800 film from a
Chinese supermarket?

Yes, Ludicrous Landscape is the place to go if you want to read
complete nonsense presented as an authoritative equipment review!



We find your objective comparisons and published test shots are quite
helpful.

It would be helpful if you addressed the current LL article rather
than attacking one of the past.

Do you have something of relevance to say, or are you just letting
your hate flow and resort to name calling like a small child?
