Examples: Mountains
Panasonic S1R firmware version 1.0, Leica 75/2 APO firmware version 1.0.
These examples shot at dusk in Multi-Shot High-Res mode. I wanted to see if I could obtain high sharpness images near dusk, and just how much detail could be captured in subjects that have more detail than the camera can normally faithfully record.
While the lighting was dull and bluish, many aspects of imaging quality with the Leica 75mm f/2 APO-Summicron-SL ASPH can be well understood with these examples including sharpness, secondary color, and bokeh.
Includes images up to 141 megapixels. All image sizes from the downsampled 187MP images.
14544 size ~= 141 megapixels, 13722 ~= 125 megapixels, 11832 ~= 93 megapixels, 8368 ~= 47 megapixels.
