Here's a portion of a 16 shot pixelshift with an a7R V and GFX100S II. The Sony was shot at 14mm & f/6.3 and the Fuji at 16mm effective & f/8.
Often when I can shoot 4 shot pixelshift, I can also do 16. So I usually do 16, irrespective of how much of a difference it makes.
Is the pronounced difference in colors due to different WB, or due to different color profiles in LR? The light inside the building was probably more or less the same at the time of taking the photos, correct? If I had to make a guess, I would also guess that the crop on the left originated from the Sony camera.
They were shot and processed over a year apart. While there are windows I believe in part of the rotunda, I doubt they would have made any difference in that spot. I may have used different profiles, etc. The lighting there always looks warm, and the Sigma 14-24 runs on the warm side as well. So it could be a combination of things. I processed to taste, not directly comparing them until after I was finished, more out of curiosity.
Sony on the left, Fuji on the right.
Wow, so pixelshift outperforms even a native 100 mpx sensor coupled with a native lens (though I do get a slight diffraction vibe from the Fuji shot, but I might be seeing things) ! And with a "lowly" Sigma lens at that (I'm joking of course, as Sigma is stilll one of the best e-mount UWAs).
I think this further reinforces the point, that good e-mount lenses are more than capable of handling higher res sensors .
These are both pixelshift.....I didn't post a non-pixelshift shot...
Pixelfshift shots are something you have to learn how to process.....so differences could be more related to my sharpening and postprocessing.
My Sigma 14-24 is very sharp.
Ah, ok - so I'm even more surprised the Sony shot seems sharper and more contrasty to me.
But as you say, it might come down to processing.
