@SlowDriver, for some reason quote is not working

I am not comparing resolution of Hasselblad and Leica lenses per se but comparing their optical qualities like wide open performance, distortion, subject isolation, micro contrast etc. I misspoke when I said the pixels are the same, I should have said the pixel sizes are the same between X2Dii and SL3.

Anyway to answer your question, I am not sure about the 2 posted images as they are web resolution. But if you compare 35-100 and V series lenses, their rendering, distortion, aberrations and contrast is the same. The Hasselblad image pipeline is one of the best (if not the best) but the V lenses or the zoom do not do justice. They are designed to be small and light. Some will be fine with the comprises but personally I do not care for these compromises. Hope this makes it clear.

Thanks for the reply!

The quote issue seems to be limited to this thread. It seems to work fine in other threads. Awkward.
