I have another theory is that with the sensors with increased DR and MP\'s, I think many of us are looking for a different look not too indifferent from the Minolta/Leica look. The high resolution and high micro contrast works when you wish to increase the apparent sharpness of an image and was more designed for smaller sensors and lesser MP\'s. With the high MP a lot of the high contrast is too strong for my eyes with the very fine detail. Maybe this is why I really like the lenses like the FE 50/1.8 on the A7s with the 12 MP?
that is precisely what won me over vs the batis - the batis was contrasty and sometimes that can be mistaken for sharpness but when i compared full sized shots across 6x 30 inch monitors sitting about 4 feet from my desk, it was easily apparent that the 85GM had the goods as far as resolution - yet, also managed to render extreme detail \'smoothly\' without ever approaching \'harsh\' - perhaps that is a good way to describe the difference between contrast and resolution. almost analog, not digital if that makes any sense. phonograph, not ipod.
