Aperture Series: Mosaic (IQ4 150)
This aperture series look at performance of the Schneider Kreuznach LS 150mm f/2.8 on a planar target at far distance. Key issues include sharpness across the frame and focus shift.
Includes images up to full 150MP camera resolution (14204 X 10652) from f/2.8 through f/11, plus crops. Also includes 100 megapixel downsampled variants for perspective versus Fujifilm GFX100.
Overall image quality (sensor quality) is fabulous—even on a per pixel basis (150 megapixels!). This is easily the best image quality I have ever encountered from any camera as of late 2019 (that claim based not just on this series). Sharpening tests show that the pixel quality is top of class, and capable of aggressive post processing.
