A range of general test shots are shown over the next two pages. In some cases, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it to show the overall image quality. Some other pictures may be clicked to view the original full-size image.

Here's the usual detail test shot of the West Window of Exeter Cathedral, for you to compare with other cameras. See below for a full res crop, or click to see the whole picture.





While there is plenty of detail the image quality suffers from compression, over-sharpening and slight noise.





Unusually the Schneider-Kreuznach lens produces very noticeable barrel distortion at the wide-angle end. The two images below are cops from this frame.





Corner sharpness is pretty good though.





Centre sharpness is good, but again over-compressed and over-sharpened.





There is some pincushion distortion at the telephoto end.
