Geez, I can't believe anyone doubted that the extra resolution on the new model was real. It's definitely going to outclass many lenses at many apertures, though.

Yes agreed...

Very close, but the Leaf has more fine detail. It's "crispy" as they say.

I posted my macro comparisons in the alternative gear/lenses etc forum.

The resolution and DR on this is wonderful. It looks like quite a fun setup!

I don't know if it's my monitor or not (I doubt it since I'm using a decent Sony CRT), but I see some jaggies in the lower left stone filigree swirl/leaf patterns in the 100% crop with the Contax 35mm lens. Do you see this on your original file?

I need to go back and look but i remember i did see a few minor jpg artifacts after the last sharpening so perhaps i over did it a bit. I also admit the first set of files were processed before i realized that during a ppt presentation someone accidently hit my monitor profiles and screwed them up. I have since re-calibrated. I am using a mac laptop, which i know is not optimal but at least it is calibrated.
