Leica SL or Fujifilm GFX 50

[DougDolde]

I handled a GFX yesterday just briefly didn't shoot just held it and looked thru the EVF.  It belonged to Laurent Martres who came to see my solo show at the 29 Palms Gallery in California.  Seemed pretty solid and well made. A lot of reviewers claim it's ugly but I didn't think it was.

He said he has no problem with 36x48 canvas prints from this camera.  Plenty of resulution.

Virtual tour of my solo show:

Hi Jim,

It is quite OK to be a stickler. I need to correct my terminology.

If I would say that it can resolve twice the amount of detail, meaning over the area of the sensor, what would you say?

Uh, twice the pixel count. Sorry to be such a stickler.

I would say that is confusing.

What would you say if someone took a pair of 7x50 binoculars and advertised them as 49x50?

I think that castle bravo did 15MT instead of predicted 5MT because of a minor mistake. I wonder what you would say to those engineers ...

Hi Jim,

I don't disagree, and have changed the wording of the original posting.

At the time of the original posting I paid some consideration to the issue, and I felt that the simplification was OK. I have changed my mind.

BTW, I just made a small experiment:

• Take a decently sharp 42 MP image
• Downsize it to 50%
• upsize it to 200%
• Print both the images at A2 or 16"x23" size

I have done that, using Photoshop CS. The results were interesting. The downscaled and upscaled image was actually looking sharper, but it had a lot of "grittyness" to it. The original image was more smooth.

In an experiment like this there would be a lot of variables. Eyesight, experience in viewing prints, etc. But, it is quite interesting...

Best regards
Erik
