 Re: First Sighting: A7rii Thin filter in action | |
Thanks for the pictures, teeraash. Very interesting and not what, in theory, we might expect beforehand.
First thing is that I’d like to ask Zeiss how it’s possible that a lens specifically designed for the Sony sensor stack performs better with a significantly thinner cover glass. We take for granted that Zeiss optic engineers are second to none, so maybe the naked truth is that there’s a limit to what one can do to counteract the damaging effects of a thick slab of glass between sensor and lens ?
I’d love to see this test with the Loxias 21 and 35. The Loxia 21 enjoys a great reputation; not so much the Loxia 35.
Best thing would be of course if we were able to make the comparison using two copies of the same Sony model. i.e. a stock camera vs a UT modded unit. Upsampling or downsampling adds another unwanted variable to the equation.
As a side note, I don't see overall IR contamination.on the MKIR-UT pictures. A Leica M8 would have turned garishly purple the synthetic blacks of the mid-frame pictures. Not this case here. Those UT images ate contrastier and tend to orange-yellow if compared to the stock camera but I dare say that a custom WB and a camera profile would take care of the color balance, although more testing is needed. Apart from synthetic black fabrics, skin tones are specially revealing if there's IR leakage
