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.

All test shots are from the V1273.




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.




Although the level of detail looks very good, it is over-sharpened and over-compressed.




The Schneider-Kreuznach lens performs well, producing only a little barrel distortion.




Centre sharpness is excellent...




...and corner sharpness isn't too bad either, only dropping off in the far corners.
