In the last week I learned that the massive discussion around color and tonal transitions could just as well be from color vision deficiency.

A calibrated 10 bit monitor may not make a difference for some people.

There's a test you can take here.

Scored 12

Am on a NEC PA27 which has not been calibrated for months. Should I start shooting B&W now or use a cheaper monitor?

Snapsy.

BTW - I am baptizing the A7r tonight. Which means taking off the rattling strap connectors and putting on a screen protector.

The SA 55 Sonnar sealed the deal. The camera has been shooting well with all lenses 86mm and below and sometimes with the Apo Sonnar 135mm. I still think there's something wrong with the compression when there are subtle tonal transitions or a lack of detailed scene.

There's a link between small file size and compression artifacts but the camera is doing enough things right for me right now and it's clearly the nest of what's out there.

Someone with more time and training will find it and if we're lucky Sony will give us a fix.

I'd still like the option of full lossless files.

A 128 GB card is cheap - some photos can be priceless.

12 is a good score - 0 is best.

Hmmm. I'd best watch out for sea-foam green buses.

I got an 876, which is why I in general try not to muck with colors and saturation too much.

No surprises though - my kindergarten teacher wanted me to repeat kindergarten because I was "slow" and couldn't learn my colors.

I must say I am surprised at my result:



Clearly the test is faulty.

Or, Max, it could be that I use Dell monitors.

The monitor you take this on, ambient lighting, etc. will impact results on this test... at least they did for me.

I took this several times, first scoring in the mid 20s: 24, 23, 23. Then I switched monitors, turned the brightness down and turned off the lights and scored 0. I suppose that could have been luck, but after I got what I wanted I wasn't going to repeat the test!

EDIT: PS: I also used a dell monitor!

Yep, I got the zero. Apple iMac. I only took it once - that was enough!

I took it once too, and quickly. My office is usually darkened somewhat.

Apparently Dell rules the dark!
