Psst.... wanna pixel-peep a MF 37.5 MP pic?

Stefan Forster, a noted landscape shooter, posted his hands-on report about the 37.5 MP Leica S2 at DPR.

I wouldn't be remotely interested in such an unreachable camera (USD 23T+++ on the body alone + more for the lenses and accessories). However, Stefan posted a couple of DNGs (links at DPR thread) and I couldn't resist taking a peek. If we can't ever own such a system, at least we can try to see the quality that a mountain of money can buy.


Here's a conversion from the posted DNG, uncropped full frame resized to 750x500, unedited.




And an unedited 100% crop:





Now I know the IQ that only the gods can afford. ;D

But they'll never take Bird photos as good as you, Ka Mastah! Landscapes? Heck, anybody can take those - with one hand and one eye closed! And YOU don't need a gazillion pixels to come up with masterpieces, hehehe.

But, I must admit, the camera is amazing! :-)
