H3D 31mp Samples Here

[Khun_K]

I had the chance to use the H3D 31MP last week, great!  ISO 800 is CLEAN, no not
as clean as 100 iso, but VERY USUABLE.

Looks quite nice. I am using both P45 on Contax and H3D39 and never have the nerve to go beyond ISO 200, so may be I can try 400 now.

What version of Flexcolor came with the H3D-31?

Was it 4.6.7 or something higher?

You can reduce noise reduction in FlexColor.

In the TEXTURE window you can add a value of +10 or -10 in Noise Filter bias.

Dear Richard,

there have been many Sinar eMotion images posted by users on this site (rehnniar, foto-z), as well as testimonials from these users and in different treads.

You can contact these users and ask them to send you some eMotion samples and explanations with it.

Best regards,
Thierry

These samples are very helpful for those of us seriously contemplating an upgrade to DB.  Images
from Sinar and Leaf as well as testimonials would be welcome also.
Thank you.

Richard

Thanks for sharing the H3D31 files with us. I have an offer for a H3d31 in front of me and am doubting whether to pull the trigger on it.

The 400 but especially the 800 looks quite good.  The softness in the 800 might be because focus appears to be just in front of the eyes, it appears to be more on the flowers she is holding.

The remainder of softness might be due to noise reduction? For my taste it is just a tad too much, I like it a bit more grainy with more detail, detail seems to be lost here.

Frankly, what strikes me most is the horrible OOF blur/Bokeh, this is one good example of truly distracting background blur.

I missed the focus on her eyes, but you can see the flowers are very sharp, as for grain I "still"
add grain to allmy images in PS after processing, but not in the highlights or blacks.

You are absolutely right, as I thought to see focus is on the flowers. Maybe you have one that is sharp on the eyes that you are willing to share?

Steve,

I have to say the files look very noise free for 800, but the first thing that struck me also was the ugly background blur/bokeh as noted above, which is definately something i have noticed with many 'H' lenses.

That shot was made on a 35mm lens though, so I guess in 'normal' use it would more likely be used with a greater depth of field?

I think the noise is very good but I'm not impressed with the image quality. I supose it's the compression...  
This crops shows color artifacts and chromatic aberration... Open the images in Photoshop and you will see it.

In general I think (am I the only one here?) that this images look very cold and soft.

Good point Samuel - I think it looks GREAT for 800iso! Good enough for 99% of clients.

I thought the bokeh on the 100 iso image was not bad at all. I thought this was taken with hte 80mm lens?

Hi Mark,

I was talking about the girl / flower shot.

But yes, the 100 iso image I think was with the 80mm and I can't see an issue with the bokeh.
