    Wide UltraPrimes vs Summiluxes-A7r tests

    I finished off my testing of primes on A7r with Zeiss UltraPrimes (cine lenses) 32mm/t1.9 and 24mm/t1.9 against Leica Summiluxes 35/f1.4 and 24/f1.4. The Ultraprimes are built for the S35 cinematography gate/sensor which is similar to APS-C in size. Before, I found out that the 85mm UP covers...

    Ultraprime vs Hexanon vs Sonnar on A7r tests

    I put Zeiss UltraPrime 50/T1.9 cinematography lens on my Sony A7r. I compared its central wide open SHARPNESS/CONTRAST performance (f1.7 equiv) to that of wide open Sony Zeiss Sonnar 50/1.8 FE and Konica Hexanon 60mm/f1.2 (closed to f 1.7). The UltraPrime on A7r vignettes in the corners, but...

    A7r vs D800 vs M9 with top primes tested

    I tested my three full frame cameras ( Nikon D800, Leica M9 and Sony A7r) with a variety of primes. At 24mm I tried Nikkor 24/1.4 G ED on D800 and Summilux 24/1.4 both on M9 and A7r (via adapter). At 35mm I put Sigma 35/1.4 on Nikon, Summilux 35/1.4 on Leica and Zeiss 35/2.8 FE on Sony...

    Olympus 43 glass can cover bigger frame

    Lloyd Chambers (digllloyd) in his tests says Olympus glass cannot cover a frame bigger than 4/3 image circle. There were some rumors Olympus would build a larger than 4/3 frame camera (E7?) diglloyd.com/blog/2012/20121019_1-Olympus-SHG-coverage.html I would like to know how Mr Chambers mounted...

    X100 resolution vs 4/3--chart shots

    I shot some charts to find out for myself the X100 resolution story. It seems to me it's comparable to m43 with 20/1.7, better than XZ1 (but not distantly) and E5 shows all these what 4/3 is capable of.

    X100 vs D700, M8, Ep1, E5 pics

    Only one scene in full sun (got the X100 couple of hours ago). All cameras at standard jpeg presets (however X100 is at "Astia" because as Barjohn noticed Astia is actually Provia which is standard--a mixup bug in the menu, when you select Provia it is soft-really Astia). Apertures f4, f5.6 anf...

    E5 resolution equal to FF 24Mpix

    Such a bold if careless and provocative a statement deserves a new thread/title, I believe. 12Mpix/ 4000x3000 / 18x13mm sensor plus zoom at 2.8 vs 24Mpix/ 6000x4000/36x24mm sensor plus prime at f9. Yesterday I posted first E5+14-35/2 resolution chart pics. Let me quote myself: "...

    D700 owner orders E5

    It's me. A mad decision before any big reviews come in. Based on my m43 collection of bodies and glass experience. My E5 will come from Pixmania on November 5th , plus 12-60 glass. I already have 25/1.4 panaleica and 50/2 Zuiko, both used on m43. Can't wait to lay my hands on E5. Will it match...

    GH1 and Hexanon 60/1.2

    My favourite lens for portraits (on 4/3, M8 and RD1) is Konica Hexanon 60mm/f1.2. I tried to replicate the look/definition with a wide variety of glass (leica, 4/3, nikkor on d700) and just could not. Here the Hex on GH1 full picture and 100% crop.

    Swim and dive with your EP1

    I got this plastic sealing bag for small cameras (Aquapac) for 20 euros without hope for much usefulness (www.pixmania.com). I tested it today and it surprisingly works. EP1 plus 20/1.7 get it sharp most of the time through the translucent "window". I even dipped under water once (supposedly...
