[LRflex] Not snowing yet here:)

Hello Phil, all,
 
Indeed, conditions of the two images were identical, bot a at f4 and same 
speed/iso, WB, etc.
 
I'm really surprised by the Leica zoom with the Digilux. Might be that the 
firmware was tweaked a wee with the V2.0. No way to prove it though.
 
As I heard that the Indian Summer in Canada is shorter than espected, let me 
show a "tourist" picture, square format, a wink to Rose and David Young:

in the serie "Cheri, I have forgotten the corkscrew":

and last, It's too sunny for the Blues Bros:

For the last one presented, I have used the widest aperture but still, there is 
too much DOF. Pffff
 
IT is a sunny Week End: Next One, I'll be in Brugge (Belgium )....

view from a Tamron and a Vario Elmar
Hi Xavier,this is a very interesting and telling demonstration. The Leica zoom 
is way better in terms of definition - I don't know if the circumstances of the 
shoot are the same (diaph, vitesse, ISO, etc.), but the picture looks crisper, 
the details finer; way better.You seems to enjoy your gear a lot.Sunny weekend? 
Time for a stroll in Paris, and for a harvest of pixles to share. :-D BTW - did 
you get the white balance adjusted automatically or have you fine-tuned 
it?Wating for news and pixes.AmitiésPhilippeBille Xavier F. wrote: 


Hello Gents Latest news, as I could not crack the SilkyPix Protection :( and 
due to the high value of Euro, I bought a full home version..... Although one 
find good tips in the manual, reading it is compulsory as the software is not 
intuitive. Er, the MMI is disposed a different way from common softwares. I had 
a couple of RAW, one from the SP Tamron and the other from the Vario Elmar. 
Against all odds, the Tamron is not that bad (it was really OK with a film 
base) but in digital, the Vario Elmar shows it off. The picture is my 
neighbour's balcony decoration, we call it Sarko's Cat, be warned, each are 2 
meg. With the Tamron 
SP:http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/Test/_1020267_dev_SP_NK.jpgWith the Vario 
Elmar 80-200http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/Test/_1020264_dev_vario_NK.jpg Both 
were processed in silkypix the same way. My conclusions? The Tamron SP is 
giving chromatic blurried edges and there is a slight color cast while the 
colors are better rendered by the vario Elmar and the edges are sharp. In fact 
Silky pix can dissolve a lot of blurr and chromatic aberration. To see what I 
mean you need to look closely at the pine cone in the bottom of the image. And 
the image has been worked out. the original image from Tamron showed a lot more 
defaults in the details. To demonstrate the power of Silkypix, I have reworked 
the image of last week, here is the picture from the Digilux, downsized to 
220K:http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/Test/_1020584_cor.jpg and here is the noise 
cleaned picture from SilkyPix, off the RAW file, 
575K:http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/Test/_1020584_dev.jpg Promise, I won't bug 
you again with these tests, however, for me, the power of the post processing 
is a discovery  ---------------------------------Xavier F. BILLE Maisons-Alfort
