I didn't realise that putting sharpening at 0 put it in negative... interesting.
I usually sharpen later after working on the image so always export my images in with 0 sharpening from ACR to Photoshop.. I understand all images require sharpening to a certain level but these need a lot more than most, just expected more for the price.. the 24mm looks like it could be a winner for me.
FWIW, I've just run some studio tests comparing the x5s 25mm with the x7 35mm in ProRes and RAW CDNG. Still compiling results, but the general consensus is this.
Both cameras under Cinecore 2.1 produce about the same amount of DR. X5s clips highlights a bit sharper than the x7.
in Raw CDNG, it is best to shoot at native resolution 6k, 5.7k on the X7, or 5.2k on the x5s) as the 4k versions show aliasing caused by in camera conversion. Converting in ACR or LR is cleaner.
X7 produces slightly less noise in shadows, and has greater color accuracy in the deepest tones. X5s appears to have greater color noise reduction leading to accuracy issues with fine color detail, especially in the shadow.
x7 at 6k produces meaningful additional detail compared to x5s at 5.2k. X5s at 5.2k produces minor false color errors and aliasing, probably due to the lack of, or a weaker, AA filter compared to the X7.
The x7 lenses seem universally sharper in the margins and corners than the various m4/3 lenses, with the possible exception of the 16mm (compared to the 12mm Oly), otherwise, both lens sets appear to be out-resolving the sensors. I'll do some more testing with the 16mm, but from everything I've seen, including your shot, it appears to be a perfectly fine lens, although perhaps not quite as stellar as the 24, 35, and 50. My favorite of the bunch is the 35mm. |
