A half-rez version is available by clicking on the image for those
who'd like to see more of what it looks like in a print.
Comments and critique always appreciated.
Fascinating... How do you find the lens of this camera? Does it
live up to the reputation that its label carries?
Copying from a thread that I just posted to on photo.net...
"I've compared results from the Sony R1 directly with both Canon L
zooms and primes as well as Pentax lenses. The *first* thing I
checked was for blooming due to the horrible problems I had with a
Sony F828. The R1 is totally different in this regard: there is no
blooming to speak of, and extremely little chromatic aberration.
Rectilinear correction and corner/edge sharpness, even wide open, is
remarkable for any lens and especially so for a 5:1 zoom lens.
The Sony's lens and imaging system is superb. Period. It is the equal
or better of many top of the line lenses available for SLRs.
These are some of the very first photographs I made with the R1 ...
captured in RAW format, processed in Camera Raw v3.3 and written
straight to sRGB JPEGs. You can click through the thumbnails to web
resolution and then full size renderings. All of them can be improved
further with a little image processing too.
