Last shot is uncropped from M8 with the APO Summicron 75 ASPH. Downconverted to jpg and sRGB. Capture and some web sharpening applied. Clicking on thumbnail will go direct to full size jpg of about 3MB (light compression). http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/te/ 2009/5/29 Thein Onn Ming <mingthein at gmail.com> > For George, Mark and anybody else who might be interested...some full sized > files (JPEG, converted from RAW using ACR) from the D3x (with 24-70/2.8 and > 105VR micro; arguably two of the best lenses Nikon has today) and > Hasselblad > CFV 16MP back (with 80/2.8 standard lens). > > *CAVEATS*: The CFV was shot handheld, available light except for the > landscape shot.
