The focal ratio is stamped on the front of the camera f2.8, that is not my opinion but fact.
The P4 specification says it is an f2.8 camera, once again fact , not my opinion.
no, it isnt evidence. has no relevance in the context of this discussion.
filters reduce the white offset in the light reflected from the subject, in order to render the colors on the subject better. that is their only purpose. but what hey do to the rest of the scene is just turn it dark. that is the negative effect of using a filter.
i would have asked you to read my posts in this thread, but i believe you have difficulties to follow and understand. please allow me to point it for you:
"
The adjustments it makes to try and correct the exposure value are either shutter speed or ISO setting, or a combination of both
"
that is a quote from your own post. it is right. aperture has nothing to do with anything relevant in this laboured debate you dragged me through. the camera adjusts very well in both strong light (shutter 1/4000, sensitivity on -) and low lights (shutter 1/320, sensitivity on +), rendering filters useless. the f/2.8 aperture has to do with the amount of useful light (light reflected from the subject), which for a wide lens is needed to gain contrast in shaded areas of the landscape. is what makes the eyes of say a dog render colored in a picture instead of black, if i may. meaning the f/11 of the P4pro would render with prevalence black for dark colors and better contrast in white-washed colors.
by comparison, the f/2.8 of the P4 is limited at rendering white-washed colors (turns them into white) but has better rendition of dark colors( doesn't turn them into black). of course there is a balance as to how much white is too much on a frame and here my quoting gives you credit, for pointing out shutter speed and sensor sensitivity.
i believe in the P4 camera, based on my previous experience in photography as well as my actual experience with the P4.
sorry, i have a life outside this forum. besides, i cant really debate while other people sidekick, turning an interesting debate into something uncivilized. this discussion ends here.
